Door frame captive nut insert missing

Post by tonyiad »

I’m missing a captive nut insert on my 69 911 door frame. I don't suppose these are available new so does anyone have one available or, a badly damaged frame with the nut still in place they could bear part with? Many thanks.

I think a rivnut will be too long and likely interfere with smooth running of the glass, I may be wrong but I don't think shallow rivnuts are available? Would love to hear if it's been done using rivet nuts.

I know it's a while ago that you posted this but I have the same
problem and need several of these captive nuts. Did you find a
solution?

Cheers.
