Also, why threads in the part and not a ~~bolt~~ nut insert? To save weight?

  Do you mean "why threads and not a nut insert?" If so, yeah - for sure, that would be easier. Partly I wanted the challenge, though. There are a lot of applications where nut inserts aren't optimal, and in general they'd be heavier too. In the coming months I'm going to focus on a part that gets glued to a post, which obviously will skirt the issue altogether.
