BJ8 dome nuts on rear interior panel

[Legal Bill]

Hello folks. Are the two domed nuts on each rear interior panel a special shape and size? Does anyone know where to get them? Neither Healey Surgeons nor Moss seems to list them.

Thanks.

Bill

These chromed 5/16" NF acorn nuts are the same as fitted to the seat back pivots, and are the same as listed on Moss' illustration for the BT7. Moss number is 402-550 and they call it a "dome nut". I'm not saying theirs is or is not accurate, but that's their reference number anyway.

Thanks, Rich. Was there a special washer underneath them?

Looking at the original service parts list, on page BA 7 part no. 23-24 shows a dome nut part no. 14B 2685, and plain washer part no. PWZ 105, four of each.

Huh. That is just a zinc washer. I may try to sneak stianless in there.

Screw the chrome on those nuts. They should be available in stainless. Any of those interior items that are for decor and visable, I am using SS, especially any of the washers. I have made the acorn nuts before, even flanged and out of stainless, when the correct thread size was not available. When polished they sure do shine.
