T-Nut discovery - 02/26/20 02:26 PM
I guess since I now fish out of a kayak more than my big boat, I’m considered a kayaker. My paddle is even metric.
Anyway, last night I was rigging up my fish finder and could not find T-Nuts at any of my local hardware stores. It was very frustrating. Just as I was about to leave the last hardware store the thought hit me...
Those long, brass bolts that hold the toilet down to the closet flange would be perfect. Sure enough, they are 1/4-20 and they are easy enough to cut to length. They won’t rust and with them being brass, they will not eventually gall the threads.
So there you have it. My contribution to the kayak world. If you can’t find a T-Nut, go to the plumbing section and get the closet flange bolts, they seem to work great.
