I am missing one of the clipped nuts for the lower vent window assembly that screws into the lower door. I know it is 1/4x20. I have looked in several of my catalogs and cant find them... I was going to weld a nut on the back but there is some degree of adjustment with the original setup... Anyone know were to get them?

Some that are similar here http://www.mcmaster.com/#clip-on-nuts/=m2w10m Scroll down the page a bit.

Mcmaster Carr is pretty good about accepting small orders. Might also try Fasteners if you have a store close. They will sell you one of anything if you only want one but Fastrenall or at least the one here only sells by the box.

something similar a Fasteners http://www.scribd.com/doc/101766316/...fxr#fullscreen Scroll down to half way down page 3

Ace hardware stores have a pretty good selection of odd stuff like that too. Since you are in a big city with lots of heavy industrial see if there is a Fastenal, Tacoma Screw or similar specialty fastener store.

I'd look into replacing it with a nylon push-in type of nut. http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Nuts_Nylon_s/126.htm

I needed some a while back and found them on E-Bay. I think they call them j or u nuts

I have found them at Napa as well. They sell them in bags of 5 or so.

:agree: My NAPA sells just one at a time.
Or:

They're called: U-nuts, J-nuts, cage nuts.
