source for cage nut on radiator support

Post by MAK »

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

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...
