Hello Mark,
    Where are you located? I can cast a nut out of ZA-12 for you. ZA-12 is 
almost as good as cast iron for that purpose.
    I am near Camrose, Alberta. I plan to be doing a foundry demo at the 
Estevan Model Engineering Show the week end of October 16th. I can bring 
equipment to cast one there as a demo if that helps.
