I am making a rectangular box for a power supply project from school and want to be able to screw and unscrew the sides and walls and such and make it look at professional as possible so I am seeking your help. I have some pictures on my computer case and its mounting style, I want it to be the exact same or equally as cool. Im just having a heck of a time locating the screws you will see in the picture. There is a 3/4" x 3/4" block with a indented threaded part that the screws thread into, if I can locate the threaded part that gets inserted into the plexi block so i can screw my box together i will be able to hit the ground running :) Any idea's??? https://intensem1rider.tripod.com/jayzpicpage/index.album?i=15&s=1 https://intensem1rider.tripod.com/jayzpicpage/index.album?i=16&s=1 https://intensem1rider.tripod.com/jayzpicpage/index.album?i=14&s=1 https://intensem1rider.tripod.com/jayzpicpage/index.album?i=18&s=1 ------------- 2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

ah... why not just run the tap into the plastic box? you won't be able to torque on it at all... otherthan that i'd look for a local wood working shop... they use that pocketed female thread for putting together pillars for single leg inntables and whatnot. i wish i knew what the hell the thing was called.
alterntaively, why not just cut out a round, put a nut in, fill with clear epoxy and call it good enough? lol. the epoxy would be covered up by the size of the bolt running in.
uhm... got a metal lathe? lol. you could always turn a brass hex nut till it was round. heh.
still looking: found this under 'fasteners'
