I recently stripped the exterior of my 77 B in preparation for getting it
painted. I noticed that two of the nuts that hold the chrome bezel around
the windscreen wiper drive shafts (wheel boxes) were beat up so I ordered
new ones.
But whan I went to replace the nuts, I noticed that the threads were shot!
Moss, Vic Brit, etc. want $40+ each for the wheelboxes.
Has anyone solved this problem, e.g., can one put some new theads on the
wheel box shaft and if so, where would one get a nut for it? Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
