Rear Lamp base -what size is the stud?

Post by jollyroger »

Does anyone know what size the stud is that holds the rear lamp base body to the wing?
The old ones are corroded and I can't see them on any of the suppliers websites. I was going to try and buy a length of studding - any suggestions welcome.

I don't know if they changed at different years but what year is your car - It may be important?

It is a 1969 2 dr saloon. The bases are all the same after 1962 I think!

Yes, 2ba - The change of base came in 64 - Not sure if early ones are the same though... I'll check tomorrow if its dry out.

Thanks guys.
I have on old bit of stud and found some 2BA nuts and tried them and it is indeed 2BA. I will order a length of studding.

Thanks again.
