Mine has 3 inline square holes which are almost vertical. I am assuming that at one time these square holes had some type of cage nut. Am I correct or is another type of fastener used? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,059 Renaissance Man | | Renaissance Man Joined: Mar 2010 Posts: 10,059 | Yep. Captive nuts. I just weld square nuts in the holes. You will want to chase the threads with a tap to clean up the scale caused by the welding.

The ebrake setup on the driver side provides the mounting point for the left inner while the passenger bolts directly to the cab/firewall toeboard. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 70 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2010 Posts: 70 | Where can you purchase 5/16" captive nuts? | | | | | Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 2,168 A teacher, but always an apprentice. | | A teacher, but always an apprentice.
