Lift The Dot, Stud, 10/32

[Knightowl61]

Put a new dash pad on a SIII and ordered Lift The Dot Studs 10/32 from SS. The studs are too short to catch the capture nuts on the vent covers.
I looked all over the web for longer threads but could only find 8/32 threads.
The capture nuts are in a sub panel and solid under dash.
Is there a trick to pull up the capture nut so the stud can catch and thread up?

Did you shave the underside foam to fit the new dash pad?
The pads if I understand correctly required some sanding at the leading edge to get the screen to sit correctly. This may also resolve the issue of the depth of the foam under the demister vents

I got the pad from Curt (classic Sunbeam) it didn't have any foam, just a hard molded plastic. Thickness in the front edge is sbout 10 mil and stiff (guessing)

Not sure it's a match, but I tripped over this. Not sure if the package size is a problem.

Have a good day,

Looks like it would work, but only need 4 and expect to pay around $10. + shipping.
Thanks

Maybe alert one of our US suppliers, so they can sell us the correct part for this application. Just a random thought....
