Convertible Top-Brass Header Nuts
I purchased my Classic Cobra last September so I'm just starting to do some work on it. I was attaching the soft top to see what sort of job it would be and noticed that I'm missing two of the brass header nuts that go on the top of the windshield. I went to an automotive fastener store and the guy just shook his head at me. Are these nuts still available and if so where can I find some of them?
Thanks for any help with this...

They will be the same, but you can find the OEM T-Nuts on the web. IF FWB can make you some---do it, is my thoughts!

The base is 1/2 inches long and 5/16 inches wide. From the bottom of the base to the top of the "T" without the screw is 1/4 inches. I'll try to upload some pictures if I can figure it out.

T-nuts... 2 needed...
Not far from you in Rochester NY...
Pricey little buggers but that's the expense of hand made goods.
Is the Treichlers PA address correct? I'll send out a check this week.
