Wide variety of sources then and now
Hi Harry
Over the years I've seen a wide variety of cage nuts used on CMPSs and I've have the suspension that they used what they could get. So what I did was tried to match what was there. Failing that I replaced all the caged nuts in a particular area to match.
When you are looking remember to look for the bulk suppliers you may find as I did suppliers will sell you 100 for the what other sources will charge you for the 8 you need. I had lots left over, but is sure nice to open the box and pull out 5 of the 1/4x20 caged nuts when your fabricating something that needs a blind fastener.
Cheers Phil
