There are several styles of these Leg Bolt Plates.
Steve has a good variety at The Pinball Resource, and we have them here
in Canada too.

Aftermarket is fine - nobody sees those things. If you call Steve
make sure to call it a t-nut. If you call it the wrong name he will

Original poster was correct calling them a Leg-Tee
http://www.pbresource.com/legs.html
I would buy new. Threads on an old one are probably worn.
The original Gottlieb ones have very few threads.
Pinball Life calls them Leg Brackets. >https://www.pinballlife.com/leg-brackets.html
As much as I like Pinabll Resouce, I would probably buy the
Product ID: 01-9296 from Pinball Life because of the greater
number of threads.

I'd probably just go the hardware store, buy a strip of
steel flat stock of sufficient gauge & width, cut to length, drill and
tap a couple of holes.
If you have a hacksaw, drill bit and 5/16" (or 3/8") tap.

If you have a hacksaw, drill bit and 5/16" (or 3/8") tap.
You would need a pretty thick piece of steel plate to be strong enough
to thread, you want about 1/4 inch minimum of depth.
Alternatively you can get some suitable nuts and simply weld them to
1/8" plate.
vs $5 bucks each, all made up and ready to install...

3/16" should be fine. Most of the stress on the part will be
perpendicular to the bolt.

Ah, but they're fun to make :-)

A few words - cross-threading, and overtightening - I've replaced an
awful lot of leg plates over the years...
