<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DivingDoug, post: 178236, member: 3143&quot;]I have acquired an old mirror that has two brass inserts in either side to allow it to mount as a pivoting mirror on a dresser or wash stand.&nbsp;&nbsp; The internal threads, originally 1/4-20, are virtually worn away and will no longer hold a stud or bolt properly.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I am unable to find a replacement that has a head as these do.&nbsp; All modern versions appear to be headless. The external threads appear to match that of modern inserts though that is simply a visual observation at this point based on images.&nbsp; If anyone can advise where I might be able to find inserts that match this style, I would greatly appreciate it.&nbsp; I have attached photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>My plan B is to attempt to repair the threads by using an insert within the insert but I risk damaging the original inserts beyond repair so it is pretty much a last resort.</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 1067]Insert Side View by DivingDoug posted Sep 25, 2016 at 9:07 AM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 1066]Insert Bottom View by DivingDoug posted Sep 25, 2016 at 9:07 AM[/GALLERY]</p><p><br /></p><p>[GALLERY=media, 1065]Insert Top View by DivingDoug posted Sep 25, 2016 at 9:07 AM[/GALLERY][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
