Thanks for the input. Anything is possible...not sure what the thread configuration is. If there was sufficient demand for this part and the cost was realistic, it would be easy to replicate using a CNC Turning Center with live tooling. Programming would be simple. I have three (3) of them. But, it goes back to my original comment. How many truck owners actually use the original spare tire carrier and how many of those use the original nut? My guess is not many. Demand and sales volume would be very low. Hence why this part and the threaded hangars get no traction for reproducing.

I only need one (1) original nut. Does anyone have a spare sitting around in the parts box?

Thanks
