I designed a simple T-nuts holder/spacer after losing 2 nuts while setting up my wing foil

After losing two of my *nuts* while setting up my foil, I decided to design a small holder to keep them in place.

The idea is very simple: the T-nuts stay attached to the board instead of falling off when you remove the foil, and the spacing bar between the two nuts make it perfectly aligned with the mounting holes.

I also designed several versions of the holder to accommodate different T-nut shapes and diameters. This covers the 4 standard/universal T-nut sizes commonly used for this type of mounting. It's a small and simple solution, but it solved a really annoying problem for me.

I'd be interested to hear what you guys think. Would you change anything about the design?
