Tim,
I recently had some of the nuts made up for 32-33's (castle 5/8" AF) in a very small run (and truth be known we take a loss on them in every sale due to cost)

The late 33-up versions (slotted hex 5/8AF) I can make in house on my lathe and mill.. The issue is the time involved to simply make 4 nuts, that sell for $12.95........ Both are a example of a labor of love not profit.

As for the "L" bolts, I have looked into it and I can have them made, but for the financial plunge it would take to produce them, I just wont be making those.. FYI I have been using regular hex bolts with a "peened" shank and works just fine in place of the L bolts.

Making the nuts for both in a large run, is on my radar but off in the distance.
