Bed bolt nut with frame mounted gas tank

Post by snake »

Does anyone know of a source for new 1/2" U-nuts to use at the left front bed bolt when you have a frame mounted gas tank? The original broke when taken apart. The local hardware stores here that have those style of nuts don't have any larger than 3/8"........

If not, I guess I'll have to weld a nut to the frame before I put the gas tank back in.

Drill a hole big enough to fit one of these? http://www.mcmaster.com/#clip-on-nuts/=r7jkhv
