Does anyone have a source for the correct acorn nut and washer for 63-67 decklid trim. Al Knoch comes close by design, but it is 3/8", need correct size for the original trim 5/16"?

William, I've been looking for years and never found a source. So I continue to search the piles at Carlisle and occasionally come up with one.

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
Does anyone have a Parts Book "Group #" for the vinyl strip & its attachments? I would note that it does NOT get illustrated in the AIMs, which according to "standard interpretation" is supposed to mean that it was installed "somewhere else" - which is not true.Comment

Harry,
Do the nuts look like the ones on the right side. Al Knock's are on the left.
And only for $100.00 each you can have a set. You want me to bring them to Florida or FedEx them to you now.
Paypal is OK!!!!!!!

You mean these original acorn nuts and washers??? Back in about 2006 or 2007 at Carlisle I walked the swap meet looking for C2 deck lids and bought all the used deck lid vinyl trim and hardware I could find. I have a few spares.

looks very close, but does not list a 5/16"Comment

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
I believe the studs on the trim are 6-32 sized and the replacements like Knoch are 8-32. I replaced my original and have the nuts. Not sure were the 5/16" comes in, but the diameter of a 6-32 bolt is 0.138 and the 9/64" is 0.140.
Woops, I just looked again at the link, those are listed as Push Nuts. The originals I have actually screw onto 6-32 sized machine thread screws.Last edited by Donald H.; December 2, 2015, 08:17 PM.Don Harris

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
Here is another possible source.... I don't have a convert, so I don't need them, but a trip to Home Depot for a selection of sizes, might be the thing to do.....they aren't very expensive......

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
Don, these nuts are basically thin metal and probably were pushed on and screwed off...... A good test would be to purchase a 6/32 screw and one of these nuts and test 'em in the Home Depot parking lot. Total cost about $2....... and then you'll know for sure and can report back here.
I doubt the originals have actual "threads" but just a single metal edge that is shaped to follow a typical screw thread...Comment

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
Is there an aftermarket source for the vinyl trim that accepts the original nuts? I kept my nuts and washers from 30 years ago when I replaced my original trim piece. Wasn't smart enough to keep the original trim. I could likely have swapped out the studs by taking the trim staples out. Do all repro trim pieces use the larger nuts?
thanks

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??
Don is correct. I have an original deck lid trim and a newer Al Knock. The studs are different sizes as described by Don above. The originals will not fir on a replacement trim piece. The 5/16 comes from the measurement across the flats (wrench size).
