Rear 1/4 window support brace nuts?

[Pastel Blue]

I just realized that I am missing three of the 4 nuts that secure the 1/4 window from to the lower rocker panel. Does anyone know where I can get these or have them kicking around from a spare parts vehicle? Thanks in advance for any leads.

I think I wound up sourcing some suitable substitutes from the local ACE Hardware (nutserts and corresponding bolts).  But Don from OMS had my back with some of the upper mounting adjuster/fasteners, though.  I'm sure he'll chime in soon.

Ken, as you already know, 374251-S2, or 359359-S2 caged nut (1/4-20) is the piece you need . Discontinued from Ford but is a AMK manufactured product (B-12033). They sell a 2 piece bag for $4.00, but unfortunately  they have a $30.00 minimum order. I would check with Don (OMS) or one of our on site venders that handle AMK products to see if that is a product they stock. The bolts if needed are 1/4-20x1/2".

You could also check with Don (OMS) or Mike @ Motor City Mustang to see if they might have some used ones since they both have parts cars. And as Eric suggested you could always take your sample to a local hardware store and they just might surprise you.

Yep PIA... can't do anything further on the build until I resolve this. They must have come loose during sandblasting operations, didn't pay any attention to this until I went to install the rear 1/4 windows. I will pull the remaining one out and start looking for suitable replacements locally... I just got an order from OMS, wish I had seen this first...

Have you slipped a magnet down into the rockers below around the area? You actually might be able to recover some or all of them if they dropped into the rockers during the blasting process - they are pretty much sealed up, except for some drainage holes down low.  Fortunately, the areas are relatively small as well (compared to under the doors).

Just an idea - Hope that helps!
