I made various parts for NASA, they want inserts (Helicoils) in all tapped holes. When using inserts, keep in mind that the sealing washer needs to go well beyond the insert diameter.
Fastenal made some big changes in their business model, at one time they were a hardware store on steroids, now they are in large part a shipping company. My local Fastenal, and I suppose most, has little in stock and isn't set up for retail sales.
