Default hardware for '36 instruments

I got my 36 cab without instruments, so I don't have the hardware.

I checked Roy Nacewicz catalog and didn't see them.

My dash has goobered up studs (rust, dirt, primer, paint), and I think they might be 10-32

Does that sound right to hold in the speedometer and gauges?

I'd call Roy and talk to him. If he doesn't sell them ( which I'd doubt) I bet that he could help you. I know this from experience
Good luck!

so far in my hardware stash I haven't found a fine thread 10-32, only 10-24.
Maybe I'll grab a few at Ace Hardware and give them a try.

I don't think there are any coarse (10-24, etc.) threads on anything Henry built during the early V-8 era, only fine and extra-fine threads.......Bob L

The instrument studs are for sure 10-32. Ace carries the hardware you need. I just did this work on a 36 1 1/2 ton truck. Had to repair for one stud that was broke off. Drilled and taped to use a screw instead.

I can't get a 10-32 to thread on, but I can get a 12-24 to go on.
I have 1 or 2 studs broke off, not sure, afraid to look up and behind to find out if its more than that!

The mountng studs are more like stubs. I think when the previous owner took out the instruments he took most of the threads too.
So you were abke to get a drill up behind the dash and drill out the broken one? Did you need to use a right angle adapter?
