I am missing 1 square nut which supports the front fender/headlight bracket to the radiator support, I think it's 1/4" 20. I tried hardware stores but of course they're not the same. Anybody has an extra one? Thanks!

Is it a Cage Nut or just a plain square nut welded in place? You can find Cage nuts of all sizes on eBay or AMK.

You might also try a local Fastenal store if there is one near by.  Just an option of your find your project is like mine.  Everting I actually get a window to work on it I end up waiting for a wee for a set of fasteners to arrive.

" :cool: Oh yes THAT set isn't in the master body set you bought...."

 
It's a square nut with a "step" on each side that is usually welded in, not a cage nut. Thanks again!
Oh, a Pierce Nut! I have one 1/4" and a bunch of 5/16". I can mail the 1/4" to you. PM me if you want it.

AMK has the 1/4" Part # B-10557 6 for $3 plus shipping.

This guy on eBay sells them 5/16"...
