#226925 - 12/07/11 07:51 AM Searching for a nut or two?
Solan Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 1884 Loc: Oslo, Norway	I have lost an acorn nut. It is used for the outer fastening of the windshield frame to the windshield side arm. It is nickeled colored but has same shape as in the picture below. Size: 5/16"-18 N.P. or side: 16 mm and height 14 mm. Here are the pictures: http://s889.photobucket.com/albums/ac98/solan1916/nut%20for%20the%20front%20window%20frame/ http://s889.photobucket.com/albums/ac98/...9-Kopi-Kopi.jpg You can see the nut is missing at right arm in picture 11. Anyone having some spares for sale? _________________________ Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!

Solan Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 1884 Loc: Oslo, Norway	I did not yet find one, nickel covered. I have seen some suppliers of such nuts, but have not tried to buy from them yet. I would appreciate if you could send me one. The adress is: Erling Storstrom, Skullerudveien 38 B, 0694 Oslo/Norway _________________________ Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!

16monroe Grease Monkey Registered: 09/04/11 Posts: 26 Loc: Oklahoma	Solan, I had two of the acorn nuts, so sent them both. The nickel is pretty worn, but, hopefully, they will get you by until you find better ones, or can have one of these replated. Ed Emerson

Solan Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 1884 Loc: Oslo, Norway	Thanks so much. This is a great help for me. The story about loosing one goes like this: We were at the end of the big vehicle show ELMIA in Sweden (a small kind of SEMA. They celebrated their 40th Anniversary and Chevrolet 100 years as well. After rolling out of the show hall I adjusted the angel of the two front window parts to reduce the wind resistance, trailing Solan our car) home. When mounting the nuts one fell off to the ground. And the mishappening was it went straight down in a road drain under the car. Nothing more to do but drive home after a magnificent stay and show. Luckily the inner nut was in place already. You can see Solan, Kari and me in old costumes in this video (1 minute 55 seconds after start): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K8uU026xnzg _________________________ Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!

Bob_Kerr Registered: 02/05/08 Posts: 794 Loc: Hymera, IN	I am missing one of those nuts as well. The stud on my windsheild is twisted off and the nut is gone so I will have to figure out how to get the stud out of the cast iron piece. _________________________ 28 Chevy LO Capitol 1 ton, 28 National 2 dr coach, 71 Chevy Custom Camper 3/4 ton.

16monroe Grease Monkey Registered: 09/04/11 Posts: 26 Loc: Oklahoma	After I mailed two acorn nuts to Solan, I discovered that I still had one more. I have a 490 windshield that I thought would fit my extra Monroe body, but it doesn't. You are welcome to the acorn nut, or any other windshield parts that would be useful to you. Ed

Solan Registered: 11/01/06 Posts: 1884 Loc: Oslo, Norway	The nuts came yesterday. I would not mind having the third as well, but if I may come back to you a little later, that would be excellent. _________________________ Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!

I will send you a small token for your help. May be I will search on the net to find new today's sources for acorn nuts. _________________________ Solan G, # 32797 Take advantage in your hobby by being member of VCCA!
