[Roadsters] Thread Size?

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Ronnie,

Is it a low-winshield car?  If so, they're 5/16-24.  Your local
hardware store is unlikely to have acorn nuts in that thread.  You will find
them at fastener shops on-line, but Menards has chrome 5/16-24 lock nuts with
nylon inserts which look good until you can find the acorn nuts.  (It so
happens I was just there looking for 5/16-24 hex head bolts for a friend's
horns, and noticed the lock nuts.  They didn't have the bolts, though, si it
took a stop at Sears Hardware.)

Gary

Okay, the new top is on. It looks and works
great. Haven't put the
tonneau on yet, but have a bunch of other things to do
before the show
in San Antonio in two weeks that'll be easier if I just pull
the top
off . One thing I need to do is get a couple of nuts for the top
pivots. They were missing when I got the car. IIRC, they were acorn
nuts and
they look like some flavor of 1/4 with a fine thread.  Are
they 1/4-24? I can
pull one of the brackets and take it to the
hardware store with me but I
thought I'd ask in case someone knows off
the top of their head.
