Nutsert, or certainly a nut
In case, for you non-engineer types, if you don't know what a Nutsert is, the pictures will show you.
This is where my cross brace connects to the frame. See the big hole? That was after I ground down the bolt head that was just spinning in the frame.
Here:s after installing a Nutsert to provide new threads after punching out the defective one. This is how you fix blind nuts inside the frame.
