Dashboard flex-nuts give-away

Post by scimmione »

Hey guys, I did a small favor for a friend at an industrial supply house and he turned me onto a handful of M4 x.7 flex-nuts.

I've taken what I need, so now I'm passing the favor forward:
I've got 15 left (5 sets) that I'm giving away.

PM me with an address and I'll send you a set (3ea). It's 1st come , 1st serve.

That's it: The last request has been received, and the last set is going out tomorrow.

Congratulations to the early birds.

Did you have any issues with the extra length of the shaft going into the dash? IIRC, the aftermarket ones are a few mm longer (about 1/4") longer than the OEM ones.

Received my rubber isolators yesterday. Scimmione did mention to me to trim the dash end due to it's extra length in our pm. Thanks again.

I was wondering how long it would take for the package to reach you; about 2 weeks I guess.

You're welcome, I hope they hold-up for a long time.

88: If those are for the gas tank, I don't think they're the right size. Compare the picture from the top of this page with the picture in you link.
