On the post-60K body I parted out, there were slots in the sheet metal on
the bottom of the rail which gave just enough room to slide the fix nuts
into place.  (Had kind of a hard time getting them back out.)  So I believe
the YJ2526 screw shown in the later SPC is correct for post-60K.

But that was a long time ago, so I could be wrong.

I still don't see how the fixed nut would fit.  There are two holes on each
side of the grab handle.  One would be further away from the edge than a
fixed nut would reach plus the one closer to the edge would be blocking
access.    

I am getting ready for a local show this Saturday and I think this is going
to have to wait until afterwards as I think I'll have to take the capping
off to see what is underneath.  

I typed all that and decided to do a search.  Found the attached.  Will get
some #10 pointed screws and see if they work.

Here are the captive Simmonds-type J-nuts on the dashboard cowl of my TR3B
(TSF202L), plus the original semi-Acme screws used to hold the grab handle.

There's a 1960s-era Standard-Triumph Hardware Catalog scanned and available
online from a number of archives.  Most useful to have.  The cross
reference between the SPC and the hardware catalog answers most questions.
