Threaded Nut Inserts for Inspire Mount

[prendy35]

It worked fine. I have tons of spare washers and parts. I used a few flat washers and a star shaped lock washer to keep it from turning. You want the top of the threaded insert just flush or a little below the RC cover.

Well that didn't go so great!! Ha but it's installed and is solid! Key important thing to remember, go below the arm when you drill. I got it to work but I was a little high. Also you can by the insert from lows or home depot for around a dollar or so.

The thread on the inspire mount is a metric thread so not sure how you made a American thread work without cross threading the heck out of it...

The part I purchased works fine. That wasnt the issue and there was no cross threading. I was looking for the part number to publish it here but I threw it away already. Only issue I had was drilling to high. But its solid now.

Im not taking the RC apart, I'm pretty sure mine is 1/4"x20...Sandman, where is the thread size posted? The OPs part is standard thread as well.

I got mine from Summit Racing. There was a thread somewhere on here about it. I will see if I can find it.

Here it is:

I got mine from PhantomHelp, 2 day shipping and all I did was donate. Great guy.

That one will work with the Inspire mount. That is the exact one I purchased from Summit Racing. This was the one recommended in the other thread. Thanks LuvMyTJ

I did the same thing. I did not take into consideration the fact that the Inspire mount has a slight angle to it. But in the end, it all worked out fine.
I think that is the best mount for any tablet.

It's not 1/4-20...I can tell you that for sure...it's a metric thread. I bought one and went to a hardware store and tried all the different sizes. The only way a 1/4-20 will work if you force it and cross thread it. It's a aluminum thread so it will go on with force but it's not American thread. Call Dji direct if you don't believe me.

I went to lowes and picked up a piece that fit super easy. I will post a picture when I do my antenna mod later this week.

I don't need to believe you, it threaded in without cross threading. Again, the parts people are posting are 1/4"x20

This is exactly what I bought. It worked perfectly. No problems.

All you need is a H3 bolt and a small washer! That's what I used! Dirt cheap... I had them in my junk bolts box
