For the cage nuts, are you hunting for caged nuts to fit a 3/8 thread or nuts 3/8 across flats (for smaller threads)?
Macs Auto sells some http://www.macsautoparts.com/early_v...+nut&x=17&y=11

Mcmaster- Carr sell a style that could be modified and welded on but not identical to those used on CMPs. http://www.mcmaster.com/#cage-nuts/=v8xp5v Also, I don't know if they will sell to you in Canda or if you will need the help of an American friend.

Fastenal also sell cage nuts similar to the McMaster ones designed to clip into a panel http://www.fastenal.com/ again, not the same as CMP with flat ears for welding. Fastenal uses the term weld nuts to describe the style closer to that used on CMP http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...VendingMachine= (McMaster also come closer if searched for weld nuts)

And there's always ebay - searching "weld cage nuts" got results for threads from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in flat ear style similar used on CMP except that the cage is in 2 pieces rather than 1. These 2 part cages must be current production.
