  • Body Hardware Definitions and Usage
    BODY HARDWARE DEFINITIONS AND USAGE Barrel Nuts: They are used with either stud-type or threaded fasteners where the other side of the panel is inaccessible. Typical applications include automotive nameplates on fenders, trunks, et. The nut snaps into a pre-drilled hole and the metal tabs lock it into place. These parts are also called tubular nuts. Example: 5196 Body Bolts: Usually either a hex washer head or hex head Sems® with the most common thread types being USS coarse or metric regular pitch. They are used for attachment of fenders, radiators, hoods, trunks and general purpose fastening. Examples: 12336, 13614 Bumper Bolts: Used to attach bumpers. They have either a USS coarse or metric regular pitch thread. Bumper bolts are usually zinc plated with a stainless steel capped head. Example: 5242 Cable Straps (Releasable): Made of either natural or black nylon. Used to bundle wires or harnesses. 14298 features a releasable tab that allows you to loosen or tighten the strap as needed. Example: 14298 Door Hinge Pins & Bushings: Components of the vehicle’s door hinge assembly. Pins are made of steel or stainless steel. The bushings are made of bronze. The critical dimensions of the pins are the length, the diameter and the shoulder diameter (if applicable). The critical dimensions of the bushings are the inside diameter and the outside diameter. Some bushings have a splined outside diameter. Example: 19424 (pin), 14550 (bushing), 14553 (bushing) Door Lock Rod Clips: Used to attach the door lock rod to the door lock cylinder. The clips are made of either steel or nylon Example: 15518, 20470 Door & Window Crank Handle Retaining Clip: Usually made of copper plated spring steel, they are used to attach interior door and window crank handles.
