Bainzy Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainzy Posted September 13, 2012 Author Share Posted September 13, 2012 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. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bainzy Posted September 26, 2021 Author Share Posted September 26, 2021 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.
