Topic: 1932 Ford pickup

  Hi,
I am from New Zealand and rebuilding a 1932 Ford closed cab pickup.
I need to replace the "clinch nuts" on the tops of the doors which hold the top of the window channel etc.
Can someone tell me what size and thread type these are as I see there are new nuts available but I don't know what size to buy.
Cheers
Brian

  Brian,

I'm away from my old car stuff until the end of the month and can provide you the answer then. So, if you haven't received a definitive answer by then, please post a reminder for me to check for certain. At this point, I'm guessing from memory that they are #8-32 threads.

  Hi
Thanks for your help
I think that will help me to order what I need
Is there any firm's in the US who supply these clinch nuts.
You are a real help to give up your time to help those of us who don't know these things
Thanks
Brian

  Brian,

I've now had the opportunity to check on my doors; they're #10-32 clinch nuts. Likely Michael Driskell at Third Gen Automotive in McMinnville, TN has them.
