Hi All,

 

Can anyone supply a photo of a LX/UC hatch quarter window latch and/or fasteners. They appear to be large countersunk fasteners with a relatively small diameter thread.

 

I think the LC/LJ 2 door ones will be similar.

 

Cheers

Tom

Another forum member was recently chasing the same screws which I believe ended in a satisfactory outcome.

I rang Rare Spares about those Screws and was told they are a Metric Thread or "Fine Metal Thread" Thread.

In all the Hatch's I have measured, the Thread for these Screw are 3/16 Whitworth. I am looking for the same

myself. I think the best bet would be to go to a Bolt Shop and get a Stainless Steel "Tapered Domed Machine Screw".

I have found some on the Internet, but they were in the US - Aviation Supply Company - these wanted about $30 each!

- must have been made out if Titanium !

I got excited when I saw this thread but I am looking for the other little bolts , part they screw into and the rubber washers that go through the window. Does anyone know where I can get these by any chance? I dropped one and for the life of me I cannot find it!

Craig, Rares does sell what you are after. I have bought them from there.

As for the screws from the original post, I have used 3/16 screws from Bunnings and have not had a problem. To some they may not look like the same head, but in my modified car, they look fine and do the job.

Hope this helps
