My business is for sale:

http://rodneydickman.com/product_info.php?products_id=542

So my plan now is to eventually take my business (mainly just my existing inventory) to Denver.   But: I also am not making parts anymore in my shop here. I am also not restocking many items as they run out. You may have noticed some of my parts are out of stock now. That trend will continue. Once in Denver I will continue to sell out my existing stock I have on hand and as I run out of things they become discontinued.

So my advice is buy it now because it may not be available in the future.

9-10-24:  I am still in business and this item is still in stock.

 

 

 

 

Also:

I'm also looking to sell some or all of my "in house" manufactured parts that I make in my shop to someone who might be like me and likes making things. This is one of those products. To buy my business is a large endeavor. But if you work a full time job or are retired and want to take on my manufactured parts or some of my manufactured parts let me know.

A nice sideline for an ambitious person.

 

 

 

Rear Frame Floating Cradle Nut Kits

 

This kit replaces the failure prone GM rear frame engine cradle nuts. The factory floating nuts are held in place with thin steel cages that tend to rust and fail leaving the floating nuts loose to spin. 

Tools needed: A high speed air or electric die grinder with a thin cut off wheel. Welder to reweld the flaps once these have been installed. 

Note on welding the flaps: I talked to Ed parks at the Fiero Factory in Alabama. He told me they do not weld the flaps. They just bend them back up. The frame in that area already has openings in the frame. The best way is to weld the flaps once you install the floating cradle nuts but welding them closed is optional according to Ed Parks. I would suggest welding them closed.

SHIPPING NOTE: 

I do not offer free shipping.

Because I use postal flat rate boxes for heavy orders there is no program that can add the proper amount of shipping to every order. So all shipping is added manually by myself after you place your order. That is explained here: Shipping added later explanation 

When you place an order the shipping amount will show $0.00. Soon after you place an order you will receive an email confirmation that shows the amount of shipping that was added to your order.

 

 

Shipping is $11.50  (USA)

These fit into a small postal flat rate box. Final shipping cost is determined by weight of the item(s) and distance from Milwaukee, WI. Shipping prices quoted are for items shipped to the Midwest area in the USA. If you are ordering a single item or multiple items the total shipping price is determined after you place the order. I try to keep my shipping prices to a minimum and use Postal Flat Rate boxes whenever I can utilize them for an order.
