Those square nuts w/ the clips used on body panels

I need some for my floor pan. Where the heck do you get those things?

 

Try these folks. http://www.restorationspecialties.com/ I think those are called speed nuts or clip nuts, and they have been used on lots of applications.

 

Search and your questions shall be answered grasshopper.

Thiers a guy on Ebay that sells them. He calls them cage or caged nuts

 

My local True Value hardware have them.

Is this what you are looking for?




I've always had good experiences w/ Fastenal!

 

To bad your not local to me, I get them by the ziplock bag full from work, they are used in computer racks to hold rack mount servers in. Man I must have 5,000 of those laying around. So you could always go to a computer store that sells servers they would have them cheap probably.

 

McMaster Carr about $10 for a box of 20-25 depending on size.

Ditto on McMaster ... and they're PLATED (not the cheap black oxide finish)

 

Thank you for the help muchachos!

 

I found them at my local ace hardware

 

I just paid $5 for ten of 'em on epay.

 

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I got these clip on nuts from McMaster Carr, part # 90680A135

They worked great.

 

Eric,
McFadden-Dale hardware right here off the 91 & 57 has them in stock. That's where I got em when I put the new floor in that beechin white Jeep Gladiator pick up. They have isles and isles of fasteners, bolts, screws and stuff :stout::stout:

 

I'll have to check that place out.

 

I guess I wasn't that smart to figure it all out. I used plastic fasteners that go in square holes for mounting license plates. Worked ok and they came with a choice of bolts or screws.
