Re: Lost a Nut.....

They do sell 3/8 -16 rivnuts. I'd check Fastenal or a local fastener supplier for the availability of singles though. This Amazon link is pretty neat as it shows quite a bit of info including a chart that shows what size drill bit you need to use.

The weld in isn't a bad idea though.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
