foster461 Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 On my TR3a there were two spire nuts engaged into the slots on both side to take the screws for the grab handle. You can see them in this under-dash picture. Stan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don H. Posted November 12, 2019 Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 It's exactly as Stan states. Note that the spire nuts may be underneath any new dash capping, as in these images of my car during restoration. One can seen the indentations for the spire nuts here. IIRC, the screws are a little unusual -- almost an Acme thread. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Edwards Posted November 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2019 First class response gentlemen and thank you for taking the time to photograph the fixing. Spire nuts it is then, despite the premature covering of my crash pad !! Regards, David. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
