What are these called:: the 4 screw holes for utrak install

The 4 little eyelets that you pound into a drilled hole in the wood, to Screw the utrak bolts into. Or what's another suggestion for installing a utrak. I was gonna bring it to Home Depot and just find a screw long enough to go into the wood but not pierce the other side. Best suggestion for installing utrak?/trackball? The old bold holders are stuck in my old cp

it sounds like you may be referring to T Nuts or threaded inserts

So once again, we find that evil of the past seeps into the present like salad dressing through cheap wax paper, mixing memory and desire.

the Utrak should have come with the screws and equipment necessary for installation.  I used 3/4" MDF the screws did not even come close to coming out of the other side.

It came with everything but once the threaded inserts are in a piece of wood they are pretty much done for so I needed new ones. I just found 4 proper length screws with round flush tops. Works like a charm. Thank you!
