cage nuts

I have found them on E-Bay, pricy tho!

If it's the nuts you can't find................... Then why not get a piece of 1/2" or 5/8" X 1 1/8" bar stock (whatever the size) and cut it in squares, drill and tap it. It will work perfectly and you'll never see it again anyway. If it's the cages you need.............. how hard can it be to fabricate something to hold the nut? Sometimes it's simpler to make a piece than to over think it.

by the time it takes to build the cage and nut Id much rather spend a couple bucks each on them, our next projects will be making a plate to smooth the firewall and building a fuel tank to replace the stock one

heck yea, THANKS!!!!! I need 3, 18.00 for three sure beats a couple hours making them

I just finished a NCRS/Bloomingdale gold 57 Vette, it all had to be original or NOS for judging purpose. 6 year project, I searched 4 years for sorrect original seat frames, 5 years for a set of fender scoops, I absolutly know the pain you speak of, all to well!

as far as the cage nuts go, I knew someone made them just wasnt sure where to get them, we can fab just about anything from Smokers, tube frames, nitro powered harleys, a helicopter, sea doo xp1200 powered go kart (dont try this one unless you really like getting hurt) , jet powered 4 wheeler, nitrous injected chain saw, etc etc etc(its kinda boring here in the winter hahaha) But to mess with cage nuts for a couple hours just seems like a losing situation, I figured 2 jours in the shop, in theory the shop gets 50 bucks an hour to be up and running, so I'd have 100.00 in cage nuts again its all in theory. but probably the heat bill, gas, wleding material etc etc to build a cage nut isnt worth the few dollars to buy them, and like you said that is if they are a production item.
