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.

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.

My NAPA sells just one at a time.
