S2 wing door nut

Is there supposed to be a special nut to secure the forward end of the wing door? The threaded end is pretty short and the bracket has a much larger recessed opening then the threaded rod.

Thanks

If I remember the screw is imbedded in the rolled end of the wing; then a screw w/ interior threads is used to pass thru the chromed bracket to
secure it in place, providing a pivot.
Just took one apart recently and I think it was original.

The chrome part is left and right D284 and D283 along with a sleeve nut (sometimes called a tube nut) with domed head and screw driver slot. Along with and flat washer and normal nut. Parts book only shows chrome parts with description of the other parts. Plate D Section YV. I found a replacement tube nut for my car, since original type nut was not with the car.
