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.

Subject: Fuel sender nut
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!
