Ditto for Speed Nuts.....

You should be able to pick up at auto parts stores like Autozone, although they didnt have them like they were suppose to when I went looking for them. Luckly for me when I bought some RR parts off a local guy I bought a leftover box of nuts and bolts from his 69 Hemi Restoration, cant tell how many times I have found the nut/bolt/other that I was looking for in that box....

I've seen them in autobody supply places in small plastic packs.
they are used many places in the car , especially in the dash assemble
Yeah forgot about the dash. You are correct sir. I think they are also the same size. Going to strap on the snow shoes and venture out and try to find a couple handfuls of them. Thanks

Found some at O'reilly's auto parts. They called them "thread cutting nuts". Hanging on one of those spinning displays in a blister pack.
I have called them &$%#$@#% post breaking nuts also :toetap:
