I have seen several build threads or construction videos (j Coker) That mention the use of PEM nuts. I have no experience with them and really don't know what I am shopping for. I have looked at McMaster-Carr and other hardware suppliers and found a variety of options, ones for soft metal and plastics, sheet metal etc. My first impulse was to go with the soft metal/plastics type but then saw that the sheet metal option had inserts with a deeper engagement.
If you have used PEM nuts with 4" fiberglass tube I am looking to learn what to buy (and what not to buy) So far my only exposure to these has been pictures on the net. If I had a bin of these to sift through, look at etc. I think I could make the decision easily but I don't.
Right now, I am inclined to go with this one for sheet metal (vs plastic), it has the deepest engagement. https://www.mcmaster.com/#95185a171/=13eb3xs
Any other advice or guidance on install etc. of these little do-dads would be nice... though I have a pretty good idea on how I plan to put them in I am always willing to listen to one who has done it.
Thanks
Robert
