What ABC123 pictured is a caged nut. I don't know what you're looking for is called other than possibly a pressed in but. Something tells me I might have something in the garage, but it'd take quite a while to find.
Can a smart tool & die maker fabricate something?

looking closely at the nut I think you may be right.....this one seems held in by being pressed into the square hole.
.....and if they sell at $14.00 a pop, I'll have find one more reasonable priced,
or being a retired tool and die maker, I'll take your advice and make one myself.
I had a typo in my post which I now corrected. It read "Can a small tool & die maker....." which I've now corrected to read "Can a smart tool & die maker.....". Knowing you're a retired tool & die maker, I was being a bit cheeky.

What you have is a weld nut. Factory way of applying the nuts during production. They used a positive and negative anvil, pressure and a resistance welder. Process is still in use. Best bet would be going weld it back in.

I ended up using a speed nut...quick and easy.
Isn't visible and worked well.
The weld nut was missing so I couldn't weld it back in as suggested.
