[Healeys] under dash insulation pad

The purpose of a captive nut is to facilitate assembly when the nut 
cannot be accessed or it is more convenient to tighten the bolt 
without using a spanner. JB weld might be adequate to hold the nut 
while tightening the screw; at worst you might need someone to hold 
the spanner or rig it up so the spanner will not move whilst 
tightening the screw by yourself.
