Nah. I tried asking Beyma.com by e-mail & they said I'd need to buy the whole recone kit, so not sure if they really understood me. 
They pointed me in the direction of Adam Hall.
If I manage to sort anything out I'll let you know.

Orbital Fasteners looks good too, though all the t nuts look like the Tek advises against, he said go for the dull looking ones, not ones with a shine.

Anyone advise further on the quality of these ones, only reason I ask is that I dont want to have to remove a broken t-nut from the cab!
it's a work in progress thing... bass the final frontier.

Now that ain't no easy job, but worse I got a M8 T-nut cross threaded with a thick bolt & it's still stuck after a few months & have no idea when I'll be tackling removing it! May need to use an angle grinder!

How thick is the bolt?  is it screwed in all the way, as in is the head flush with the wood? 

If not, guess you could hacksaw the head end off, and then hammer the rest through to the back which might also take the t-nut out with it.

I've had that before with an m6 cross threaded, when i tryed to undo it the four "legs" on the t nut broke and started spinning round, so i put some molegrips on the broken t nut and un-did it, its wasnt too difficult.

Similar to my problem - the 4 prongs have cut it's own new circle in the wood. Tried the molegrips but no joy yet.

Are t nuts essential for all screws holding something into an MDF cab?  For example to hold the handles, speakons, top hats etc?
