I would like to put some threaded inserts into my finished carbon fibre piece, bonded like you guys did with the fittings on the car bonnet instructional video project. I have see Warren mention 'off the shelf' inserts that have the perforated or scored load plate on them for better bonding but can't find a source of these off the shelf inserts.
Could you direct me to a supplier of this time of insert please and also recommend which type of structural bonding adhesive and supplier for that too please? I only want short m5 or m6 threads so not massive torque involved in the bolts for the finished product. Thanks! 😉
