Trim gauge nuts

[Whitty74]

Hi I have a 1998 chaparral 29, I have fitted new trim senders as the last owner just cut the cables, the issue I have now is the brass looking bolts on the back of the gauges are missing, so I cannot connect all cables, does anyone know the size of these please?

Welcome to iBoats . . .

They are probably #8 fine thread, which would be 8-32. You could get #10 fine thread as well, just in case.

You may also want to get the associated lock washers, as without them the nuts will back off over time.

Thank you for the welcome and the answer, I will have a look to se if there is a supplier here in Europe to see if I can get them here, much appreciated

A hardware store should have something. They are nothing special, except being brass.
