Default Different names for the same part

Bob when you said “ I had to increase my limited vocabulary...caged nuts in Canada are "retainer nuts".” You hit the nail on the head with doing web searches I had been looking for almost two years to find a source for “cage nuts” “captive nuts” weld nuts” etc never did search for “retainer nuts” must have looked through a thousand sites.

Couple of times I though I had found them McMaster showed them in their catalog but they were out of stock. When I found them in Mac’s I found them in two other places that wanted twice as much found out later they were getting them through Mac’s.

I’ve followed up on the other sources mentioned and have added them to my parts source list.

Right now I’m looking for a source of the windshield channel, will probably end up using sections cut from M series windshield frames.
