We are in final assembly and need help hunting the last few bits.

While installing the interior we realized that the under dash captive nuts are missing, so we cannot install the knee pad. To mitigate the missing parts we tried to steal a set from our "parts" car, but could only find one of the five required.

That said, does anyone have these rare parts or know where they can be purchased? Ideally we would like 10, but would be happy with more than one


Thanks!

Bruce Stone should have these.

Aren't they the same ones that are on the inner doors, maybe the same front license plate holders on the front bumper?

They are available.

I only found one. might have more in dashes of parts cars. Door ones are 5mm.

You can get new ones from Belmetric.

Thanks, but I think the new ones are a bit different and don't have the adjustment required.

I would really appreciate some stock ones.

Thanks!

He is correct the old ones have slightly more "slop" or adjustment in them

Thanks Craig. I think Gerald is sending me some.

Thanks though.....I.m sure that someone who is doing their kneepad or dash will need some.

Seems to me someone else started this thread, they wanted knee pad nuts.
