Alan, what's the source of those #s? I can't find them in any of parts history books OR, perish the thought, in any of my Price books.....and the
General never fails to have a price.....

A bag of four just came up on Ebay for $3.00. Got them as I'm missing a few.

Loren, They are from the 63/64 AIMs I did not have any luck finding anything on them either. Perhaps only a production part?

Re: Acorn nuts for 62-67 deck lid trim??

Just following up on this post since my original 1963 deck lid trim piece was not usable. I modified the Al Knoch reproduction piece and it worked out great. The reproduction studs are too large. Only in diameter as discussed above. I used dremel tool with grinding stone to start out by evenly remove the existing threads on the studs about 5/8 inch from the end allowing to cool while I worked from stud to stud until the diameter was about 0.13 to 0.12 inches. I then used a 6-32 die and very slowly and carefully cut the new thread to at least 0.32 inch from the end or about the thickness of the die. Since the end studs are closer together no problem just gently bend the trim out of the way. Took about 1.5 hours. Now I can use the correct washers and acorn nuts on a reproduction part.
Good luck.

I bought mine from David Sokolawski. He's in the Driveline.
