Would anyone know the correct size of the prop nut outer diameter? My 18 has 2 sizes. These are the rounded fasteners that hold the top bows on to the socket arm on each side of the car.
thank you in advance.

I believe they are 11/2" for all years, and the same thread. Other makes used similar nuts. I have some that look like Ford nuts but have a smaller thread.

There were many manufacturers of those prop nuts. It's important to make sure what you buy has the correct threads.

Yep, Larry, you're correct
Lots of mfg. made these prop nuts and the locking tabs or nut locks too. Goes back to buggy days....
