I can get a pack of 50 brass nuts in 8-36 from McMaster Carr for under $8.
Anyone have proof for or against the 8-36 thread for the terminal posts on the
back of a TR3 fuel gauge? The thread gauge I tried didn't have a 36 thread per
inch thingy.
Cheers,
Curt

Curt,
I'm going on memory here, but I believe those are 8-36 threads. The guy
running the tool & die shop where I used to work had the right thread tap
and re-did some 6-32 nuts for me. That might be an option for you.
