Abstract
A molded metal insert and plastic part integrally formed therewith form an assembly wherein the insert is provided with anti-rotation, die-cast teeth. The insert is adapted to attach and fix the plastic part to a vehicle structure in combination with a threaded fastener. The insert includes a cylindrical metal body having inner and outer diameters and upper and lower end portions. The inner diameter defines a passageway sized to allow an externally threaded portion of the fastener to extend through the passage and below the lower end portion for threaded attachment to the vehicle structure. The upper end portion provides a seat for a head of the fastener. The anti-rotation metal teeth are integrally molded with and extend radially outwardly from the cylindrical metal body between the inner and outer diameters and between the upper and lower end portions wherein the upper and lower end portions protect the teeth. A die-casting mold for forming the insert is also provided.
