Hi - I'm fixing the handle on a little PA head. The handle attachment hardware is similar to that on my DRRI - two bolts (not screws) go down through the handle. They thread into two "nuts" that are embedded in the wood so that they sit flush to the inside surface. They need to be flush to get the electronics in and out of the case.

Unfortunately the threads are both stripped on this unit cause someone used two wood screws after they lost or stripped the original bolts.

I don't know what those nuts are called so I can't figure out how to find a replacement.

Can anyone help? Here's a picture.

Solved - they're called T nuts or Tee nuts.

Damn, you're good! And, only four minutes, must be a record. :lol:

But this isn't OT at all, modern amps have handles too. :wink:
