Has anybody got some info or access to the wing nuts that are use to fix the rear bottom seat cushion to the seat pan.
looking for the 10/32 UNF Pressed wing nut.
Haven't been able to find any here at home.

I don't think these were used on UK built cars. Probably an Aussie specific thing.

Wasn't sure about that ? but thought it was worth a try.
Would like to find the 10/32 UNF pressed wing nuts if some one can help out.

Do you mean this sort of thing?

These are metric but an M5 thread can be massaged into a 10-32 NF.

These are UNC:

These appear to be the same form (shape) as the 1/4" UNC ones on top of the Morris single carb air cleaner I have:

Cheers Thank you Will try an email. Don't seem to get replies from the company's to this part of the world.

Were they pressed?

It maybe the later cars, but I thought they were cast, similar, though smaller than those used on the front seat pivots.

<EDIT: It appears the P/N was SYN29 >

<2nd EDIT: It would appear that early Aust Cooper S and Deluxes had Wing Nuts but at an early point, changed to a hex nut and flat washer >

Winabbey posted some technical drawings and part numbers for them on ausmini last week

Thanks for the reply
Yes have been in touch with Winabbey and he has been very helpful and explained the factory uses and change.
The problem really is that most all won't sell a limited number of items.
Thought it may be easy for some one in the UK to purchase or find a location that would comply with my request.
