Well I could only find the proper size inserts in bags of 50..now I have a bag of parts I don't need..haha..go figure..
If any one would like to try this method I could mail you an insert for about a 1$ ..just p.m.
I'm not trying to make money here just help out other forum member ..I'm not sure this method will work any better then the others as I haven't tried it..its just an idea ..also I wasn't able to find the part sold by the PC. Only lots..

With those ones, drill from the other side so it has something to pull up against when you tighten it. Otherwise you are relying on epoxy that does not weld to plastic to keep the insert in place.
Helicoils are the way to go, but they can back out.
Keyserts or keenserts are rock solid.
