Blind Nut into Steel Square Tube 3

[MiketheEngineer]

Some one makes a simple system for installing a "blind" nut into steel structural tubing without much work. It may even be proprietary. I have looked and Googled but not finding what I have seen in magazines - somewhere.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?? Thanks

THANKS - The Hollo-bolt by Lindapter is just what I was thinking - must have had a brain freeze. We use Lindapter clamps all the time.
