what is this flanged-sleeve-bearing-like piece called? 3

[n00bcannonball]

Every few months or so, I try to find a piece of hardware that looks like this (that will not function as a flanged sleeve bearing, usually found in plastic or bronze), but I can never find it (on McMaster or wherever). I need it to be steel and small (=~1/4" OD) and it just needs to function as a protective insert in a sheetrock-like material that is tied to other objects with wire. What is this piece called and where is it available? Or what would do the function I described better? Thanks.

The image didn't work for some reason. Here it is.

Snap bushing?

You need to be rather more specific about what you need this to do.

Also you should link the picture since it is breaking the forum format.

If it's not clear from the picture, the hole is through-all. I basically need attach tiles of this high temperature sheetrock-like material together with what is basically bailing wire. The wire tends to grind at the holes' edges, so I wanted to insert some piece like this in the holes. I would also just like to know what this is called for future reference, because I seem to need it a lot.

If you don't need an extraordinarily long shank, the piece can be drawn from sheet and is called an 'eyelet'.

Looks alot like a top-hat bush to me. One application used to be on shackles for leaf-spring suspension (Sacrificial)

Bushing? Or are you talking about a pillow block?
