Does anybody have any Heinze cam latch parts? My cam screws and retaining nuts are different threads.

The screw is about a #8-40 and the retaining nut seems to be about #14-24 or 28 Also, what is the size of the washer? Mine is gone!

I'd like to find either a replacement screws or retaining nuts to match what I have.

Here is a pic of the Lang's reproduction latch:

Keith,
I used some small T-nuts carefully pressed from the inside of the coil box for those screws. A bit of Permatex gasket sealer on the threads will keep the screws from vibrating out in case your T has any vibrations. Also the location of the screw holes is important to get the cam action to work properly.

Keith, I've got a few spares, email me and I'm sure I can fix you up. Kim

Thanks Kim and Art.
RV is working over some of my Heinze coils and he will send me the parts I need along with my coils.
