Phaeton door panel nail & socket

[modela4shane]

Anyone know of a source for the nails and sockets to install the door panels on a 1928 -29 phaeton?

I have a bag of these, about 25 or so you can have for the cost of postage.
PM me your information.

They came with my CCPU project which came in many bits and pieces.
I opted not to use them in my doors due to the difficulty of removing the door panel should I need to. That was a good decision as I had a window lift fail.
Once they are installed I don’t know who you remove them as the nails have very pronounced barbs on them. I suspect you might have to cut heads off.

I used Honda Nylon Nuts A14255 which fit as flush as the Ford brass parts.
They fit nicely in the original holes in the door. It’s been six years but I vaguely remember having to trim a corner or burr very slightly on the nylon insert (nut). In place of the serrated nails I used slotted head #6-32 machine screws. They tightened up nicely and we’re easily removed when I had to remove the door panel.
Obviously not a fine point installation but a serviable one which was my intent.

Looks awesome and will definitely keep this in mind for other builds, but still without any luck, I'm Searching for the original brass ones. Thanks though I appreciate the reply, most can't be bothered I guess
