Gerald and all,
FYI, West Marine (or any other chandler worth his salt) carry 18-8
stainless T-nuts. The price for them on page 59 in the 2004 West Marine
Catalog is $2.99 each for #10's and $3.49 each for 14-20's, a bit pricey but
for a one shot buy, might be worth the convenience if near a chandler.
