At McMaster-Carr: 18-8 Stainless Steel Twist-Resistant Hex-Shaped Inserts
for Plastics, 6-32 Thread Size
Unfortunately I am having trouble finding them .1875" long. They seem to start at 0.25" OAL. I cut buy the 0.25" length and mill them to length. Carbide mill would quickly cut them to length. It just seems like a lot of work if I could find shorter.
These will not be holding any real load. They mostly position parts in the only directions where there is no appreciable tension or shear.
UPDATE: McMaster-Carr has Stainless Steel Helicoils that are .138" long. While these are designed to be turned into tapped holes, I will just epoxy them into holes in the carbon fiber composite. This is definitely not what these are intended to do.
Is there a question here or didn't you already answer it?
