I finally got around to installing Probe eyelets in my WSM.
I used "Jack Nuts" that I picked up at "Fastenal".
I used the Step Bit to enlarge the Grate Bracket mounting holes to 7/16" inside and out.
After some HH paint on the outside, I pushed the Jack Nut through the hole and using a 1/4-20 Hex head bolt and nut driver in my cordless drill....
I tightend up the "Nut". It works like a Molly type wall anchor, spreading out the tabs until they're flat. I needed pliers to hold the the Nut to keep it from spinning. Sorry no pic as i didn't have enough hands.
Outside view.
The thing that I like about these is, they can be sealed with a 1/4-20 SS Thumb Screw.
