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.
The inevitable often happens.

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