Anyone know where I can get one of the cage nuts that snaps in to the rectangular holes near the top of the radiator support. Where the hood latch attaches.
Thanks

Re: source for cage nut on radiator support
Havent ha any luck at the hardware stores I've been too but Mcmaster does have a selection. I'll have to check size this weekend. May have to order a pack of 25 but then I'll have spares for Fordification members.
Thanks

Re: source for cage nut on radiator support
I was working on things this past weekend and still hadn't made an order and wasn't sure they would fit anyway. I just took a regular nut and tack welded some tabs on it and then tacked that to radiator support...Uni Moe wrote:I'll take one!
