Maddog13407 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 anyone know of a place besides Mcmaster carr to get the square cage nut clips for an R model floor? the ones that hold the actual floor board in, not the square cage nuts for the treadle valve.

Rob Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 That is where I've got miine in the past. Are you staying with the .3125 X 24tpi, or changing?

Maddog13407 Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Mcmaster doesn't have the clips with the floating nuts, they only have the cage nuts with clips for the treadle valve and throttle pedal mount and they don't have any fine threads just coarse Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/53041-r-model-floor-board-clips/#findComment-396113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 It's been years but they used to have them as it's where I made purchase when rebuilding trucks a long time ago. Have your tried Auveco? They are online now. They only do automotive type clips, nuts, push fasteners etc. Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

41chevy Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 (edited) I got a 10 pack from Heritage Parts in Fort Wayne Indiana. They have them is Cad plated and Stainless in a ton od sizes. The are used in Commercial / Industrial stoves, ovens and cooling units.. I think I paid about 4 or 5 bucks for a 10 pack used on a Hobart/ Majichef stove..

Rob Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I'm thinking when I changed the trans in my R model I used wide mouth "U" nuts and sems screws on the floor panel. The rust really eats those captive nuts away fast and they spin out with an impact wrench.

Maddog13407 Posted April 9, 2018 Author Share Posted April 9, 2018 was thinking of just using flange head bolts and Metric(cough) new style clip nuts. i guess its hidden under the floor mat and nobody will know.....

Rob Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Those are the "U" nuts I referred to. You can get them readily in 5/16-18 easily. I usually purchased fasteners and clips from a route salesman for all the shops but Auveco, Lawson, Keystone, etc. all have online ordering nowadays and usually cheaper than can be acquired locally.

Excepting you This always gets to my mind when I start thinking on using any metric thing in Mack which I have plenty of handy. Prefere to keep SAE when original.
