CA WTB - Cage Nuts for Single Wall Top

[cleszkie]

Looking for a set (10) of the cage nuts for a single wall top. These are welded to the underside of the bed rails. If you don't have a full set, I'll take what you have. I've seen these go for about $150 a set, and I am a player in this price point range. Thanks.

I've been wondering if these could be reproduced. They're fairly simple. It would be nice to find some of the inserts in the same shape already tapped. I wonder if some regular cage nuts could be modified to work.

I have a nice set I was keeping for myself I will let go for 150 I can get pictures tomorrow.

Original Parts Group makes these:

But some fabrication would be required to make the cages work. $18 a piece, or $180 before tax for a set.

I could swear I saw something like that at the hardware store...a hell of a lot cheaper.

I have seen a lot of stuff at my local stores that could be made to work with some alteration/fabrication. But nothing was a direct weld-in. I also searched Grainger, McMaster-Carr, and a bunch od other online outfits without any better luck. The best I could find were the ones offered by OPG.

I was searching for some other parts tonight and found some original single wall top bolts with the correct "P" marking will need rechromed 20 for the 10 pcs and I can throw them in the same box if interested.

[1rippen6]

Also found a set that will work but not original but in better shape should clean up pretty decent. Same deal 20 if interested.
