MAP LIGHT NUT SIZE

[fasjac]

Anyone know what size the nut is that secures the under dash lamp switch? Appears to be be fine thread as well. Lost it in the resto. Thread pitch and hex size??
Thank you

Is it possible that a std toggle switch uses the same size nut ?

I tried several I have and at the parts store. They seem to be too fine of thread. Can’t believe the nut wasn’t on the switch or in the bag from disassemble.
Thanks Chryco

you should be able to use a thread pitch gauge to determine that , I have them here if you need a vacation in Panama !

Lol! I do need a vacation’ as, retirement. It wasn’t fine or metric on our thread board here in parts. Sort of looks like a pipe thread ?? Appears to be 7/16 fine but is not. I’m gonna get in the loft this evening and search some more parts bags.

There are ultra fine threads like UNEF or UNS.
A friendly tool maker may help.

I got this one Neil...
fasjac, if you are in need of the typical hex nut for mounting the different types of switches, send me an email with your address to jsrestorations@rocketmail.com and I will send one to you.

That’s the switch for sure. I can’t find the nut. Looks like the the middle nut, bottom row. I’ll send you an email when I get back to the office. Thanks Slots!
