How would this be accomplished with normal hexagonal nuts? Would you pre-load the profile with any and all hex nuts you ever intend on using, and let them float free until you do? Or would you need to disassemble bracketry on one end to add something more to the middle?
Or perhaps an actual drop in t-nut would also work on this extrusion?
