      Expanded wire lath is what I’m used to seeing it called. No access to the back makes it much trickier for sure…

      Which direction is the expected force? Diamond-shaped pieces with a lip along the top at the back and the front at the bottom so they can be angled it you sit in place bit will work for a downward pull. Similar to how some hooks engage with pegboard or slatwall.

        You don’t even need the full diamond shape, just the bottom half with a deep enough slotted channel to insert and pull down over the metal to secure it into place. Something like this cleat hanger but with the slot instead of a diagonal wedge.

    I was hoping I could have a center part I could thread a bolt into and expand the back like a drywall anchor and have one brass insert on each side of the center.

    You can make a piece that fits one way but not the other, like a diamond that barely fits in, that you rotate 90 degrees and screw into. How much weight do you need to hold up?

    Just a whole pile of standard mini hooks.

    The more the weight, the more hooks.

    If you are worried about shear force, just use a whole pile of machine screws, and the heads of the screws are the hooks.

      I was hoping for something more secure, it’s a factory environment. I want to prove a threaded boss that doesn’t flop
