I am looking for a few of the tan plastic nuts that hold the overlay on the instrument panel. Spruce has them but I have a hard time paying $11.50 ea, plus shipping, for a plastic nut that will not match the overlay due to age. I am hoping that someone has a few old weathered ones laying around that they want to get rid of.
Thanks

I may have a few left in my tool box at the hangar. I'll check next time I can swing by there.
As an option, you can think about buying stainless steel acorn nuts.......they can look pretty nice when they're all polished up and it eliminates the need for trying to match up the weathered colors.
Your panel is beautiful! The panel that these nuts are going on has the original 1977 overlay. Although polished nuts would be sharp, they would look a little out of place.
If you had a few you wanted to get rid of, I would be happy to take them off your hands. These nuts are the last of the items that I need to get Nick's 150 back to 100% for his return.
Please PM me with your asking price. I will get the funds heading your way with my shipping address.
This club is great!! Thank you very much!

I had a problem finding the correct ones as well so I carried new stainless steel ones to a powder coat business and had them match the color. They did all of them for $15.00. That was over a year ago and they are still looking new.
How could a guy pass up an offer like that?! You are more than welcome to come take a peek at Barfly any time you are in the area. But be warned, she may not live up to the Hillabrand standard..... There is nothing polished on her.
I will PM you my address. Thanks again!
