Door card thread size?

[Dave85chim]

Hi Guys, was just about to order some wing nuts to re-fit door cards - but cant remember what I measured the threads as.

Does anyone know at all?

Thank you Sir!

Your welcome I prefer knurled thumb nuts inc for dash top panel/cover, easy to start on the threads also when access is so poor

I have to say seeing this car so far advanced in its development because this must have been a proper head scratcher and like few builds before it as a complete rebuild its rather inspirational how it’s come together.
Really subtle and well thought through.
Class.
Makes me want to finish my rather easier job of a body off.
Last time we met I rattled us about in mine a little Dave, I’m desperate to get mine done now and how great it would be to see them side by side.
Awesome achievement is an understatement.

Certainly can fella , on the dash top I epoxyied some penny washers to these also also made them even easier to install and accommodate TVR's over zealous stud openings/hole size I ordered 10 enough to do the dash and door cards although not fitted the door ones as have had no reason to remove ...... yet

Its definitely getting there now mate! Yes it was the drive in yours that has given me the drive to get mine done. If I can get my car to a degree of yours I will be happy. The biggest challenge on mine is having no reference points as I didn't take it apart.

Definitely need to get them together! when are you hoping to start back on the rebuild?

I’m off to collect my newly formed Clutch hydraulic pipe shortly, a few real work jobs to get done but hopefully within a couple of weeks now. For lots of good reasons I got the hump over COVID
So depressing I thought nope, I’ll only get back on the car when my mind is right and ready for it. I so enjoy sucking in the experience as it’s a once in a life time job for me so I’ll do it with a smile on my face or wait until I can, frankly I now miss the car so much I can’t wait

This time next year bloke

Feeling the same myself - I collect mine on Thursday, after a long time off the road awaiting an engine rebuild and oil cooler re-think.
Excited is an understatement.

Few things feel this good so remember that before we’re too old and sell up
