yep, thats what i called a rivnut, but drilling a 1/2" hole seemed excessive, was much easier to tap one size bigger threads for now using the existing 3/8 hole... if that gives out then i will use the nutsert.
but if the factory nut threads are still ok, he should be able to weld it through the 2 big holes in the side of a 2nd gen frame... seems like they were put there to allow access to these bolts.
