    I need to mount some bicycle fork mounts on the front rail of a 22 TRD Sport. Unfortunately the fork mounts I purchased have a hole size that won't fit a M8 bolt.

    I've found T-nuts with M8, and T-nuts with 3/8" bolt holes.

    I'm looking ones with M6 (if they exist). Does anyone make them, and are they reasonably priced? Or is there something else I should be looking at from one of the home improvement stores?

    I guess I could drill out / widen the holes on the fork mounts if I have to, but I'm surprised I can't seem to find something I can use.

    Thanks!

    I did a google search for “m6 t nut” and found many. I might be misunderstanding what you are asking for.

    Nuts specifically designed for the rails of the Tacoma and Tundra.
    Sure, you can find nuts, but dimensionally, they are either too loose or they make grooves in the rail.

    I do appreciate the responses I have recieved though.
    Thanks people.
