Sliding T-nuts for rip fence

I have an updated 500 rip fence and would like some sliding T-nuts to the top of it. I did a search in the messages and found one dated in 2011 about a company in Canada that supposedly had some, but no luck. Are there any alternatives or is the ones SS sells the only option?
THANKS for the help
Danny

I am gonna say the SS ones are de best option. $$$ yes.

I have made some from thin slivers of walnut and t-nuts. Not as robust, but do work with light 'load'.

I made some by welding two sizes of steel flat bar because I wanted offset holes. Someone in another thread made some using epoxy and aluminum flat bar. I'd say Shopsmith's are a bargain in comparison.
