| |  Frame repair nuts
A couple months back someone asked for a few of the frame skid plate repair nuts like I made for my CJ. He was in no hurry so I said I'd do his the next time I made a batch. Now I've forgotten who it was. Was it someone here?
Don't laugh - you'll all be old and feeble-minded some day.

Search won't help. I was contacted by either PM or e-mail.

I haven't made them yet - I just got another inquiry and remembered the earlier one. But if you want some I'll turn them out.

The frame nuts are plain ol' 1018 cold-rolled. One customer talked about having me make them from 4130 and heat treat them to grade 8 spec, but I talked him out of that - waste of money for the application.
