I'm looking for someone that has the convertible top boot snaps which are machine threaded, and the small rectangular 'nuts' that they screw into. Any info would be helpful.

Hi, John:

I wonder if these might work?

the same manufacturer has other sizes too.  Maybe you could call them and nail down all the parts you need.

Agree with LancerMike. Or just talk to an upholstery shop that does convertible tops. Preferably one that has been around a while. They may have some laying around that you can have for a few bucks.

When you say rectangular nuts, is this for your 59 Plymouth? I don't recall seeing these.

That looks like FA-822. For the nut, you might want to check out

This is a shop that has been in business a long time in Denver.  Good outfit.

Oh, wow, this is interesting!!! John, I have never seen those rectangular nuts to accept machine screws. All I have seen are simple sheet metal tapping screw domes and I have parted out at least three 59 Ply verts over the years!!

If you have the machine screw domes I can probably fix you up with appropriate nuts. Just give me the screw and nut size.
