1x1x1/8 aluminum weighs almost the same at the 10 series (1x1) 80/20, don't believe me? ask any of the kids on 73 from the 2007 season. I was skeptical also bu proven wrong.

As for the t-nuts, there are many styles of them, many can be inserted into the rails not from the end. 80/20 PN 3376 is one of them.
