Default Re: What are these nut things called?

-I always called them Rivnuts (that's a trademark). Used a lot of them in situations where thin aluminium covers needed to be retained but be easily and repeatably removed (so tapping direct into the aluminium would have failed rapidly)

This place: https://www.rivetwise.co.uk/rivets/rivet-nuts.asp - has a good selection.
