3/8x24 fine thread square nuts
« on: October 15, 2013, 04:53:12 PM »
So has anybody found a source for these?
3/8x24 fine thread square nuts.
Used for the caged nuts under the dash and some welded to the cross member under the front part of the rear floor.

All I can find are course thread  square nuts.

If there is no source I will make them. In fact, I'll make a bunch if there is any interest.

Let me know.

Thanks Don, that is what I thought. Just wanted to ask. I have a friend with a CNC where we can knock them out a lot easier than by hand, so I will plan an evening with a 12 pk of Warsteiner. If any body would like to donate another 12 pk please let me know and I'll make it happen.

Cheers!

I bought a bunch a few years ago with the brackets attached. If u can wait until this weekend I'll see if I can find them.

I can't find the nuts.  It looks like the McMaster Carr nuts would work fine.
