Radiator Shell Bolts/Nuts

TC 5995 did not have a radiator grill and it now has a beautiful Clipper
Blue one. However, I am short 6 nuts for the retaining bolts that are
welded to the newly chromed shell.
Does anyone know the size and type thread of these bolts?
Many thanks in advance

The nuts have been correctly identified as 2BA. This thread form is very
close to 10/32. You could clean up the threads with a 10/32 die, for the
amount of thread showing. 2BA has 31.5 or 31.8 threads per inch (I can't
find my machinists handbook to quote exactly).

#2 BA (for the radiator shell) and most other BA, BSF and BSW fasteners are
available from Metric and Multistandard Components Corp. (MMCC) which has a
West Coast outlet in Sparks, NV. Their website is
www.metricmcc.com. FYI,
they do not have metric bolts with Whitworth heads.
