MG TD TF 1500 - luggage rack nuts

I'm looking for the large luggage rack knurled nuts.
I think this the Amco brand that swings down from the spare tire

Thanks,
Ben

You need to check the thread size as a lot of recently manufactured racks have metric threads.

I measure it at 3/8th by 16 thread.

Look on eBay for knurled thumb nuts, there are usually many on sale. If you can’t find the right thread, buy a smaller size, then drill and tap.

I've made these in the past. Not difficult. Start with a 1 inch brass rod. Turn down the small diameter, drill and tap, and knurl the rim. Then get them plated.

Mr Stone,

You may want to give this a try.

I purchased them a few years ago and they work great.
