1962 - dash nut inserts
On the spring loaded square nuts, a few of the clips have broken and I fear the rest aren’t far behind. Is there a nylon nut replacement that will fit?
These are for the #8 screws that hold the dash to the housing.

Turns out they're just 8-32 cage nuts, nothing fancy, so I just ordered some new ones.

I realize I'm just talking to myself, but replying only if it helps others doing a search.. the license plate nylon inserts fit perfectly and accept a #10 screw, which you can get with the same size head as the #8 used for the cage nuts. This doesn't elevate the dash bezel at all because this area of the bezel is already cast around the cage nut.

I don’t even own a Darksider, but I appreciate it. I talk to myself all the time. Sometimes I just don’t like my answers.
