Cargo Light mounting bolts
I am replacing the cargo light on my 72, and the rubber covered nuts on the inside are destroyed. Where can you get new mounting rubber grommet nuts to replace theses. I have a new reproduced cargo light and it did not come with mounting bolts.I did a search and found that these have to be insulated so that it does not ground through the housing. Any input?
Thanks Ron

Re: Cargo Light mounting bolts
What you need are called well nuts and I think you can get them at Ace Hardware or even NAPA.

Re: Cargo Light mounting bolts
I got mine at ACE Hardware but the nuts were 10-32 so I bought stainless at ACE with the 10-32 threads. (Stock bolts are 10-24).

Re: Cargo Light mounting bolts
Is this the correct style of part (first picture)? The ones in my pickup look like they have a bulb (second picture with red text) on the inside which retains them to the cab, but does the bulb occur when they are tightened into place?

Re: Cargo Light mounting bolts
Just another option for you is some nut rivets. I used them (harbor freight) and worked perfectly. Just a thought for ya.

Re: Cargo Light mounting bolts
Thanks, I found well nuts at the hardware store today.
What light bulb does the cargo light take (I can't find it listed in my owner's manual, service manual, or overhaul manual)?
