They are also called "Coupler nuts"......ever seen a metal building [
industrial usually] with wire trays, unistrut brackets hung from the over head with
ALLTHREAD that is joined by a 2" long nut?
You can buy the 3/8 COARSE in any Hardware store....but not the Fine
thread......you just buy a 5/16" Couplernut and drill tap for 3/8x24....the way I've
always done it until most in my Chapter said they wanted a couple...
I just went to the local Bolt warehouse in San Diego, ABABA BOLT and bought
a box of 50 of the right thread....still have 2 or 3 left.....just like Daniel
Monasterios' and my CAST fake fuelpump bodies, we sold in 2001....the
only thing we can't keep up with is our D & M exhausts....I've only got
ONE...and Daniel is finally getting to keep one out of this newest run! He thinks!!!
[ I THINK he sold all the prototypes to other Vair owners in Mexico]
