Hi, Where can I find the brass insert for a bolt on neck?

Thanks

I get mine from LMI. They're a bit pricey but I like them and they're easy to install.

Local Hardware store, Lowes, Home Depot, etc. has what you need.

Yep your local hardware store is full of them as well as the better choice in my opinion of blind dowel nuts some times called cross barrel nuts. Simpler to install and stronger.

McFeelys sells steel inserts with deep threads that are much better than the brass ones!

They will never loosen -unless you install them wrong!

Another place for the steel ones is Rockler.
