Jim---You had one of the answers, as you could take a piece of square
stock (1/2 inch?) the size of the nut you're looking for. Cut off the
thickness to suit. Drill and tap for the thread to match your bolt.

Listers:
I have hunted for the correct square nut that is mounted on the front
header of the hardtop (inside welded cage) to install the two front
mounting bolts with no luck. I even contacted a local fastener
wholesaler who could get them but I would need to order 3200. That would
probable be a supply for every hardtop still out there! I found a
replacement 5/16 course thread square nut from Ace hardware, but I don't
want to use a non-stock bolt (rounded top) for the install. I have the
5/16 fine thread 6 sided nut. Does anyone know a way to weld that to a
square size frame???
Or, has anyone made a square from steel stock of the correct dimensions
and thickness and drilled and tapped the right thread.
I really do not want to install the course square nut and have two
different mounting bolts. Also check with TRF and they do not have a
supplier, but would be interested in one if anyone knows one.
Thanks in advance!
