i'm experimenting a bit and building a marine ply kiteboard. i have all the necessary equipment but am having trouble sourcing the female threaded inserts for the handle and footstraps. I don't really care which type i will use just as long as they will be well fixed and won't rust. Obviously have to be stainless i'm guessing. Live in SA and would appreciate some help if anyone knows where to purchase such items from, (hopefully in Adelaide). Any other building tips welcomed.
P.S. Have tried Coventry fasteners but no luck.
Thanks.

I bought some nice brass ones from a fella on this forum. He had a stack of them and was selling them for something like $2 each. Well worth the money as they are nicely machined and have stuck inside my homebuilts very well. He might pop up and reply to this thread.

just thought i pop up i have still got some of the inserts left i,am in w.a but its not a problem to post them just email if you want any or you can use stainless tee nuts but they will be up to $5 each and you can easily screw the bolt thought the board but if you are careful they work fine

yes they do have a base on them i'll send you and email

my first post on the site and everyone is pretty helpul. Thanks for the advice.
