LarryH88bt Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 I've lost those combination retaining clip and nut that keep the electric fan hard mounted to the bracket above the radiator. Is there any place I can get some universal replacements? Or anyone have an alternative besides zip ties :D ?
Harper Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Those speed nuts can be found in any auto parts store or even most large hardware or building centers like Lowe's or Home Depot
STERLING STINGER Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 If u get the zip ties with the metal in them theyll hold forever...not those cheap plastic ones....i just collect those clips every pnp trip...if u need some, i can dig for them and mail to u. Youll owe me a stamp tho :)
LarryH88bt Posted June 4, 2010 Author Posted June 4, 2010 I must not be looking hard enough, thanks. Those metal zip ties sound good too.
STERLING STINGER Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Ya the metal is woven throughout the tie itself, and theres metal, not plastic, that is the "fastner"....??? Its metal inside,
LarryH88bt Posted June 5, 2010 Author Posted June 5, 2010 Yeah I just looked them up. There are full blown all metal cable ties. I could not find a plastic zip tie with a metal interior in my quick search. But I understand what you're saying :thumbsup:

They are called spring nuts and if you can't fine the correct size at Lowes or Home Depot, Fastenal has a huge assortment. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products.ex?N=0&Ntk=Search+All&Ntt=clip+nuts&Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&Nty=1

LarryH88bt Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Got some at sears hardware, 45 pennies a piece. Now I need a suitable fan and new wiring.
