Blind assembly costs are cut in half with these Front Mounting Cage Nuts. They are quickly tipped into the mounting hole from the front side and drifted into locked position behind the panel with a simple awl-like tool. Two wing-like spring legs at either side of the captive cage nut provide spring tension to hold it in bolt-receiving position and allow slight lateral movement to compensate for normal build variations. A shallow emboss allows flush mounting of mating panels.
