P. J.
The mysterious thread you are asking about is a #4-48.  I have run across this
same thread other places on the Healey.  If you can not find nuts with this
thread, let me know.  I know we are on opposite sides of the ocean, but I have
extras that I could send to you if need be.

  This time a question for my British Healey friends. I just discover that
  a little nut is missing from my fuel tank gauge sender unit. It's the
  nut under which the cable is clamped. I've emptied all my jam jars with
  peculiar nuts and bolts but nothing fits.
  I'm afraid the thread is something like BA thread, and in my view the
  only opportunity to get a BA threaded nut that small (the o/d of the
  thread is just over 3 mm or 120 thou) is to ask someone in the UK to
  empty their jam jar(s) and see whether they can find one, JUST ONE, nut
  that would help me out of my problem.
  Any  reaction will be appreciated.
  Kind regards, and thanks in advance!
