Any ideas where to get these around Blackburn tomorrow?
Only need a dozen + bolts.

made a different false floor for the back of GU, and wanna bolt the fridge slide to a second chunk of wood which bolts to the main floorboard
This way it will be removable when I want to.
Bunnos or a bolt shop

Bunnings had them the other week when I was there (up here) they are pretty common mate, most places should have them.

sweet... I had no idea what they were called, and tried searching for captive nut.. nothing came up.... hope they are strong :D
I put them in from underneath the false floor I have in the Dmax and successfully tie my fridge down to them using eye bolts and straps. Plenty strong enough.

Underneath is the key here. Not trying to blow wind up you, but I have seen many where they have hammered them in from the top and had no idea why they weren't working.
LOL would be an understatement.
