Tom,
I received my Jule Frame and it required me to put in my own "captive nuts".
After tossing around a few ideas I came up with the following solution:
I purchased 10/32 T-nuts and flattened their barbs. I drilled the holes and
the drill size I used allowed for a very tight fit. It was tight enough that
I
didn't need to have someone assist me in installing them. I did this for the
insulation panels I installed because it gave me a near flat profile so I
wouldn't have bumps under the carpet. I plan to silicone seal the T-nuts to
insure water tightness. I have pictures but can't post them on this forum so
let me know if you would like to see the results?
