When I went to remove the dash pad of my 1972 Satellite Sebring Plus, it just fell off in my hands, nothing was holding it in except for a couple of spring clips located over the instruments. Now it's time to reinstall. What kind/size of nut is used on the ten threaded studs that hold the pad to the dash frame. Anyone have a foto? Thank you.
 
My original was attached with speed nuts. Here is a photo, and you should be able to find these at local hardware store, I cant remember the thread size on these but standard nut with captive washer would also work.

I bought mine from O'Reillys in a bag of 50 or 100 for about $5-6. They have a brand called Disco. Most of the nuts, fender bolts etc for these cars can be bought in this brand VERY cheap.
 
Yes, that is correct Dibbons, similar to speed nuts, but I believe speed nuts now that you mention it are self tapping where pal nuts are not?
