Re: [ATM] Threaded inserts for 1/2" carbon fiber tube?



I found some 1/4-20 anchor inserts that fit inside the tubing I used on my scope....glued them in with J-B Weld (a two part epoxy).  The epoxy is a good void filler and the inserts have stayed put for years ( I even carry the scope by the truss tube).
My tubes are 1/2 inch ski-poles I found at a garage sale....

I am having a tough time finding appropriate threaded inserts for 1/2"
OD pultruded carbon fiber tube I've obtained for use on a lightweight
6" f/5 dob I'm building.
