Well nuts for voltage regulator

[kcstreetracer]

Could anyone tell me the correct well nuts to mount the voltage regulator on a 67? I'm putting together a truck from scratch and can't seem to fined what size they are. Thank you

I used these. They worked perfectly.

Our local hardware store (True Value, local owned...) has a bunch of specialty fasteners, and other do-dads in these small drawers. THey have cases of the drawers in small cabinets, by their bolts, nuts, and screws. They have a selection of well nuts. Measure the holes where the well nuts are use, go get what you need. Get some stainless screws to go with them (if possible).

I ordered a kit from eckler's, bolts and well nuts. $5.99 plus shipping, they look just like original.

The well nuts I was able to find locally at Ace Hardware and Napa both had 10-32 threads, but the originals were 10-24. I wanted to use the original screws, so that's why I ordered them online. I don't have them on my truck anymore though because I installed a 12SI internally regulated alternator.

Edit - I fixed the thread pitches above

Awesome! Thanks guys I appreciate it.

The well nut thread is 10-24 and the correct screw is not fully threaded so that the rubber is not over compressed.

i didn't know Ekler's had them. Clark's Corvair in Mass. has them.

I got the thread pitches reversed in my earlier post. Sorry about that. The link I posted is for the correct thread pitch though.
