Hurricane Nuts?

Hello Polk Collective,
I am in the process of redoing my 7C's and was wondering if any of you used Hurricane nuts for refastening the drivers/tweets/passives. They seem simpler than T-Nuts as I think T-Nuts would be easier to damage the older wood of the Polks. I don't have any of the rings that so many of you use so I'm looking for a better solution than the old wood screws.
I plan on purchasing new foam tape for everything and once I get the crossovers to Trey (and back) don't plan on ever taking them apart again. I mean, these are almost 30 years old now so I don't foresee any problems for the next 30.
My first "partial" rebuild, next will be my 2A's. However, the expense on these will be a lot cashier!

That reminds me...I should probably harass Larry soon for some rings for my RTAs. Hehe."Some people find it easier to be conceited rather than correct."

I'd just ask he turns into a "Tool" if harassed :twisted:
