[WANTED] Column nuts at firewall

[John Collins]

I’ve looked around and can’t seem to find to find them for sale on line. I’m not certain as to what they’re officially called and that could be the problem. Lol.

I checked their inventory(23 web pages) of nuts… If they have it, I can’t find it. Thank you. Great resource! I hadn’t heard of them before.

I can't think of one nut that hold the column to anything, bolts yes, nots no.

The nuts insert into a small cutout in the firewall and you bolt through the 3 bolt holes in the column bracket that secures the column to the firewall… From the inside, through the nut and into the firewall. The previous owner replaced one with a fender bolt, washer and nut. It works fine, but it’s a little wonky.

Pictures can go a long way here, maybe if we see them....we can help.

I’ll go drop the column and take a pic.

Kinda like a caged nut.

So, you are in the midst of piecing together your ride’s sheet metal and the cage nut that is supposed to be on the other side of that bolt your turning has rusted into junk or is just plain missing. Yes – we’ve been there too! Finally, here is a top-quality cage nut replacement to hold that...
