These spring loaded nuts are used all over our cars for fastening body panels and valences. Many of mine are missing or hopelessly corroded. Does anyone know a source for them? The Jaguar P/N? I have hunted the online parts catalogs, visited the dealer, bothered the local parts store and still I can't find them. The dealer told me that they only come as part of other things. (For example the valence panel under the radiator) I was able to buy the galvanized bolts that go in them from Jaguar, but not the nuts.

Thanks

 

Available from any Jaguar dealer, for around $1.40 each, # C2C28406

 

My local Ace Hardware has them. Different sizes also.

 

Home Depot and Lowes also carry them in the Speciality Hardware drawers

Woah, never thought of going to the hardware store for Jaguar parts!. Thanks for the tips guys. I will continue my search.

C2C28406 is not what your looking for, just got a few.
Goes someplace else.
C2C35071 looks to be the Jaguar number.
Ordered some to replace a few missing, or rusted ones.
Figure the metallurgy should be better than big box stores.
As well as many hardware stores, that sell a cheaper grade.
To compete with big box stores that sell same junk.

 

Wingrider,

I'm going to wait until you get your C2C35071 to see if they are right. The catalog is very confusing on these. Also I'm not overly impressed with the metallurgy and or plating of the originals! The rusty one in the picture is one of my BEST ones.

Anyway, thanks for trying to help me figure this out.

Jeff

 

Should get here tomorrow or Monday, will let you know.
The parts guy at the dealer found it confusing as well.
Looking at the bumper pic, & said thirteen go there, think that's them.

 

They arrived,a little larger over all,but work out fine.
