In the cab of the RM almost all the fixings are 2BA bolts. Those that fix switch covers, dashboard cover, blind cord hook, timecard holder handbrake stay etc to the cab structure all have a captive nut of one sort or another to hold the bolt. Some are clip on type where access can easily be got to the captive "nut", others like on the dashboard or engine shield are of a more substantial design being an oval assembly with a thread held in the centre and the whole thing riveted to the panel with two small rivets. This was also the original method of fixing the handrails and light fittings on the rear frame and is also used on many other parts of the bodywork.

I have done a Goggle and found nothing like them in the UK. So, anyone replaced any of these and if so how did you do it? I have managed to get to the lower windscreen winding gear on RMC 1458 and freed it but in doing so a couple of the 2BA bolts sheered and so the captive nuts need replacing.

Hi Brian,
Is this the sort of thing you are after?
