several of the studs have come loose because (I guess) no lock washer was included with the nut. I have been able to make them secure by installing aircraft nuts on the studs. However there are two that I don't know how to get access underneath. These are the two just to the rear of the doors. Before I start tearing things apart, does anyone have any advice?

I vaguely remember that some of the studs have self-tapping threads but not sure which ones.

the studs behind the doors may be the screw in type. I believe the studs were all screw type originally. when we restored the series 5 and also the series 4 we used the studs with the nuts to secure them. you need the top hinges out of the car to access the area to install the studs if using the nuts instead of the screw in type.
