70 Road Runner .The 5 special acorn nuts used to attach the door to the console cannot be tightened. Just begin to thread, then slip. I called Year One & Classic, but neither sells them. These are not normal threaded nuts. They self-thread over the cast pegs on the console door & look more like molded sheet metal.
Where can I buy them ? Thanks, Rocket
 
If you use your car...I'd use real nuts, and save a set of the "showcar" ones for posterity.
 
The nuts aren't the problem, it's the stud that stripped where the nuts bottom out. I've tapped several console studs with a 3/16" die (very carefully) and installed nuts with captive washers. Those factory acorn nuts never hold.
