no longer available, I think Baxter has found a substitute
can use rivnuts but not ideal as deformation can't be factored in, hence the originals being floating style

I found some replacements!!

They are similar, the new one is slightly narrower, but they do fit.

They are carbon steel in one piece with a rolled thread and have an anti-vibration (Prevailing Torque) feature to prevent the bolt loosening under vibration.

I think they will work, what do you think?

Oh yeah forgot that!! 100 of them for £25 (inc £5 p&p) = 25p each :D
Im going to order some, then issue them at cost, unless someone want to buy them themselves?

They are from a company called Jet Press (http://www.jetpress.com)

You could do a bulk purchase thing here. See who wants what cuz there is loads of stuff on that site that would come in handy!!

Bob on that, I've been struggling to find a decent supply.
I'll probably buy some and bag them as kits.
loads of other interesting Nik Naks on there too that I've been on the look out for.
Well done! Thanks for sharing the link.

Indeed, I have also found some locally, but quite expensive @ €21.90 for a pack of 20. They are galvanized though.
