T-nut info needed

I read a thread late the other night and now I can't find it. Please direct me to the t-nuts that don't need to be ground down to clear the bed channel rear fastening hardware. Does anyone make these in stainless?

 

$24 Te-Co 41406T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped Through T-Slot Nut, 3/8"-16 TPI, 5/8" Height x 7/8" Width x 9/16" Table Slot (Pack of 5)

i haven't seen them in stainless, but if corrosion is your concern, hondo garage makes them in aluminum

Amazon has them in Stainless Steel along with Tamper Proof Bolts to go with them, i picked them up this Summer after the black ones were rusting.

 

These are the Stainless Version:

4 Pack T Slot Nuts for Toyota Bed Deck Rail, Stainless Steel, for Tacoma & Tundra Cleats, Tie Downs and Accessories, by Bolt Dropper

Maybe I got a bad batch but my Hondo set seems to be small, there is a lot of play in the channel and they often spin or tip over while trying to get the bolt in them

 

$4.30 a nut?? In 304?? Best corrosion resistance??? (flat out wrong BTW)
Im firing up the mill. I'm in the wrong business

 

These work just fine if you wanna save some money....

I used these to mount an ammo can on my bed rail

 

Nice, the ammo cans are great for keeping the bed floor open, I put on a couple with the Hondo nuts and bolts off e bay.

 

Ordered the SS ones on Amazon last night. We are down here in extreme Texas humidity, just off the coast. No salt on the roads, but things do rust quickly. Buy once, cry once.

 

Go to Home Depot. Electrical dept has them.

Just an FYI these are a little narrow for mounting large items if they are put in the narrow way. They are too long to be twisted (the way they secure in strut). I run an electrical wholesale house and these were my first idea but I did not trust mounting my rack with them. IMHO.
