Cat "60" Sixty Radiator Tube Packing Nuts

Hi All,

I have searched the forum to see if this has been asked or offered before and I did not find any, but I am gauging if anyone is interested in radiator tube packing nuts for a Sixty. I need to completely rebuild my radiator and will be installing new packing nuts when I do. I am probably going to run enough for an extra set or so. I do not have a price, but simply just trying to understand what quantities I am looking at telling the CNC shop to see what the price could work out to be, obviously the larger the order is, the better the price will get. I have a CAD model drawn, but still need to to produce the manufacturing drawing for the shop. Just for reference, a complete set for a Sixty is 240 (120 for the top and 120 for the bottom), I plan to have extras made (10) for any install mishaps.

Reply here if interested and how many. I will probably take final count after the end of the year and go off of that number. I will then reply back to this thread with more information from the shop

That fitting is a standard hardware part. It can be had in both brass and stainless steel.
