Your thoughts?
Years & years ago I worked at a machine shop that made items for the US military, virtually all for the Navy. I do remember some torpedo nose cone parts made from cast aluminum that required some steel inserts. That was the first and only time I ever encountered specs for an item that included thread inserts as part of its manufacturing. All the other times I have used thread inserts was to make a repair.
