     Hi listers,
     
     When reassembling the bodies on TRs, what have people done besides 
     using those nuts in cages? Or is the general consensus to use them 
     again and let the next poor sucker worry about it 40 years from now? 
     About 3/4 of the cages on mine had to be destroyed to get the body 
     panels off so I have to figure out what I'll do. 
     
     I've considered:
     a) Still using the cages but going to coarse threads,
     b) Welding the nuts on,
     c) Switching to stainless nuts,
     d) Using anti-seize and undercoating, 
     e) Making new cages of thicker material so they don't spread easily, or
     e) Some combination of the above
     
     TIA,
     Jim Wallace
