Source For Captive Nuts

Does anyone sell these nuts? The kind for floor panels that are captured inside a sheet metal pocket? I don't know what the term for them is so I'm having a hard time finding anything. I'm looking for both the nut and the thing that holds it

 

I just got some on ebay

What are they called?

 

I searched "1/4 cage nuts"
How many do you need? If its just a few I'll mail you some free.

 

Another option for applications that don't need to be perfectly flush is the nutzert.

I use these all the time for such things as attaching tool boxes, various things to the quads, tractor, etc.... You can score a complete kit including the installer on Amazon for about 80 bucks.

 

If your local hardware store doesn’t have them, Amazon has 1/4 cage nuts $9 for 20 generic brand or $16 for 20 Hillman brand

 

I've got several styles from mcmaster in the past. Those in your photo look like they might be this "snap-in" style.

This is also far and away the cheapest option

 

Maybe not. How far is the hardware store and do they actually have them?
eBay is $5.35 & free shipping for 20 of 'em.

 

I just ordered 25 pcs 1/4" cage nuts off amazon for under $10. Free shipping. I also ordered the proper Sems replacement bolts. Qty 50 of those was $18.50.

 

I get mine from Sam.

thats the ones i get from M/C . fit perfect on cj-5 floor panels

 

Thanks for the replies. I needed about 20 so I ordered a pack of the caged nuts and also the Sems bolts. Would the bolt heads have been painted from the factory? Not sure if I should spray them or not.

 

In case someone needs another style, i had this link saved in my favorites:
