Mounting was going to be interesting using the Phase II TNut as it was much larger than the slot.
Today I found a metric ($4?!) Grade8 4" long M14-1.5 bolt at Ace Hardware, hit it on the 6" belt sander for about 30 seconds and it worked perfectly in the Craftsman 12" Tslot and is now my new post's mounting bolt. I just kept the head from spinning in the slot while tightening it. The head was so large there is a lot of surface area and did not need a washer. I wanted to keep as much of the head mass as I could. My other thought was grind it down more and weld on a washer that I ground for the slot. That would keep it from turning.
Pretty quick solution.
