What to use for an internal thread in tube
Hi All,
We have a king size brass (Not real brass) bed frame that I have to cut down to fit a double bed size- in width.
The bed is made from round tube with an internal diameter of 14.4 mm.
I need to get some kind of insert that will fit into the tube, with about a 6mm thread that I can put a screw into to hold the frame together....
I hope this makes sense ?
Regards
Greg

G/day Strungout,
If you can't or don't want to weld a nut in the tube then you might get away with using a suitably sized loxin or dyna bolt from bunnings or some other hardware.
Ramset Australia
You might want a spacer or some washers that fit inside the tube to keep the bolt centralized at the end of the tube.
I don't know if they will stay tight in there tho ?
It all depends on how much action the bed gets
