Caged nuts

ISO 24 each 5/16 X 24 J Type cage nuts. I don't find any on the internet. Does anyone have a source?

If anyone has the cage nuts, new or used, that they are willing to part with, I am interested.

Thanks.

I probably have both new and used. I'll check tomorrow. Send me your address, and how many you need.

Thanks for all the input and Rich, thanks for checking.

All I'm finding is the 5/16-18. I may buy some and run a 5/16-24 tap into them but I'm not sure I'd get the grip needed, thoughts?

I have considered bending metal and welding fine threaded nuts to it.

Now you have my curiosity up..........what do you need them for? Can't change the bolt to match the cagenuts you can find?

Try these guys, they had the 1/4 X 28 stainless cap screws I needed.

Gerald and Lynn, I'll make calls tomorrow.

Rich, I want to use the 5/16-24 bolts as the factory did. Also, I already have the bolts. lol

Can you provide me a link, Please? I can only find the 5/16-18 J type cage nuts.

I have checked all suggested sources and still can't find the 5/15-24 thread. On one call, the tech assistance had no clue what I was talking about.

I don't really want to change all the front clip's cage nuts to 18 thread bc the doors use 24 pitch threads.

RICH MUISE · 2024-03-07 16:02

my memory is getting bad....."all the front clip's caged nuts".......

?? One on each top/side of the cowl for the fender, Not sure where the rest are. maybe @ the hood hinges? I'll have to go look now, lol. Yep, that's where they're at.

Ebay #144737198443. Sorry missed the J part. If you are looking for 5/16 24 J-nuts, contact Roger in the Parts Section for some good used ones.

AMK fasteners has them. The Ford part number is 353418-S2 or 357252-S2 for the 5/16 24 cage nuts. They do have a minimum. I stock them for my own use. If you need them and don't get a reply, let me know and I can sell you some of mine. Dan
