I have a hook that I want to install on a sheet metal leg of a shelving unit; it will give me a place to hang a vacuum cleaner accessory when it's not in use.
The threaded stud of the hook is No. 12 x 1 3/16". Here's a view of it.
(I cut back the vinyl cladding a bit from the screw to expose the 'shoulder' of the hook.)
What I need is for the wood screw thread to install much like a machine screw thread with a nut. A small block of hardwood and some spacer washers ought to give me what I need. Here goes.

Here are all the components rounded up and ready for installation. That little block of hardwood is, for all practical purposes, nothing other than a 'nut'. (The hex nut on the hook's shank is there as a spacer washer.)
And here's the hook installed and doing its duty.
