Can anyone tell me how to find the threaded nails/screws used to mount speakers inside Kustom speaker cabinets? They are flat-headed, black, with fins or a spade to prevent twisting. Threaded to accept nuts and pointed like nails. I know they're out there somewhere if I could only figure out what they are called.
Thanks all

The parts express site carrys three different types, just make sure that you use one long enough if you are mounting cast frame drivers do to the fact that there flange is thicker than a pressed steel frame driver,or if you may ever intend on using cast frame drivers just put in the long ones.

Thanks for the reply. I had checked the "Parts Express" site with no luck before but I went back on your suggestion and could not find a replacement. They have a selection of "T" nut's but I was undable to locate the Kustom replacement. If you think I missed them, could you provide a link?
Thanks so much.

Thanks, Steve,
It looks like those would do the trick! I had checked that site but had missed them. Did you know the site is Temporarily Closed while they move to a new location? Looks like I'll have to wait!
Thanks again for your generous reply!

I think they have been closed for over a month so you may have to look else where.

Thanks again, Steve,
I just went ahead and used T-nuts and some flat black paint. Its all back together now and working perfectly. If I ever find a source, I'll replace them.
