Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
I have a customer doing a very correct Hickey build and he needed these made so I made a few extras. These are the washer nuts for the extra large tanks. 2" OD with 3/8" square drive center hole and 2 3/16" holes. I weld a 1.5" long sleeve nut to the back side just like the originals. Just wondering if anyone else needs one.

Re: Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
Erik I believe these were also used for both factory accessory aux fuel tanks for 71-72 pickups as well as the similar dealer/aftermarket aux tanks. Posting an add to the pickup board may yield additional takers. Best, Pete

Re: Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
How did you form those washers? Blank was probably cut with laser or water, but just wondering how you got the dome shape to it.

Re: Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
They are first laser cut then formed with a pressing die with the knockout rod removed.

Re: Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
Thanks !! I thought maybe you had a different method so that a die wouldn't have to be made for such a small production run. They look great.

Re: Hickey fuel tank washer nuts
I have an ever growing collection of simple dies. Perfect for projects like these.
