Am looking to fit the TR4a type chrome pull handles on my 5 but the spire nut fixings appear to be unavailable from Moss etc. Obviously I could just self tap into the door panel through the door card but ideally would like to source something more suitable. Does anybody have a source for suitable spire nuts or have a better fixing solution please.

Many thanks,

Tim

When I was doing a similar mod to my TR3a I was recommended to use rivnuts. As it happens I found an alternative solution that didn’t require a special tool but it did call for a bit of welding.

You are quite correct they are cage nuts. The ones on the Bresco site are all too big for the existing housing of 6mm. But I have found some Jack nuts which if I enlarge the 6mm square hole to 8mm diameter will work perfectly - I think.

So, many thanks for all contributions as usual.

Cheers

Tim
