Check with Michael as he took over Roy's business. Here's a link to caged nut from his website. A call works great as he's one of the few that will actually take the time to talk to customers. https://thirdgenauto.com/product/new-3-8-24-weld-in-cage-nut-assembly/

Bob Drake was selling different size square caged nuts at one time.

If you are talking about the 'weld in' caged nuts that are available, then just tack welding on a standard nut should serve the same purpose.

C&G only carries the more "Modern" cage nuts, as do we and everyone and they work just fine. But..... It's the authentic type that we are discontinuing and while I could be wrong I am fairly certain no one else carries them

Question, what type caged nuts are you speaking of? (weld on or clip in?}

Michael,
One advantage of the original version is that it provides a little bit of wiggle room so that the nut can be moved around slightly making it easier to start the bolt in the nut, especially when attaching rear fenders. Judging from the C&G catalog image and others of the modern version, the nuts are fixed in place with tabs.
With either type it helps if the bolts are like the originals with a slight taper at the threaded end of the bolt.
