Hardtop Quarterlight Screws

[Bainzy]

The IV/1500 Spitfire hardtop has two pairs of self tapping screws that attach the quarterlight hinges to the hardtop, each one screws into a square shaped captive thingy that presses into the hardtop. I need two of these, does anyone know where I can get some? Wouldn't have a bloody clue where to look...

Wim, its the things that 508566 screw into. If you took the captive square fixings out, you'd be left with a square shaped hole with nothing for the screw to go into.  :-/

Have a browse on this site or give them a call, normally very helpful.

Just browsing some old threads. I eventually figured out what these are, they are a standard part on many BL cars called a 'spire nut'.

FC2803 is the one - I think, although there seem to be different sizes for bigger screws (FC2804, FC2805...). Just waiting till suppliers get them in stock again to find out for sure.

FC2803 etc are described in the Standard Triumph hardware catalogue:
