If you were looking on the web, or on the McMaster website for a gizmo
that would hold two pieces of sheetmetal at right angles to each other,
with the side of one going right up to the face of another, what would
you call it?

'Bracket' not only implies a little piece of right-angle stock, but it
seems to get a hit on each one of the thousands of catalog pages in
McMaster, and about one in ten pages on the web.

I'm thinking of something that would be an alternative to the PEM
R'Angle fastener
(http://www.pemnet.com/fastening_prod...f/radata.pdf); something
that lets you put the screw into the panel that's getting butted up to
instead of the panel doing the butting.

I've seen little rectilinear blocks with threaded holes, but better yet
would be a little plastic piece that goes into a hole in the panel that
butts up to the other panel, and engages a screw from the panel that
gets butted up to.

If you have links to manufacturer's or distributor's web sites that'd be
particularly nice.

TIA.
