While I have your attention, please see last photo. I am missing one of these 3/8-24 nuts. Now I know I can hack up your average, everyday 3/8-24 nut and weld it in place since I have the whole side cowl open, but I was wondering if there is a source for acquiring an original style nut, short of scouring boneyards for a donor (AD bones are hard to come by these days).
Thanks
Pat, take a look at McMaster Carr. They have a selection of
weld nuts that you could use, but I'd weld in a generic hex nut (since it can't be seen anyway.)
