MG TD TF 1500 - what part is this?

Can you identify this special nut?

It has a fine inch thread and could come off of a Y-type or TD, but maybe something completely different.

Captive nuts like that were on the kick panel below the fire wall, of my TD
I remember making a few.
The threads were BSF though.

They are used to secure the bell housing cover to the kick panel

Thanks a lot.

This is the one that secures the kick panel to the floor. Pic by Matthew Majilton. I just purchased 4 from FTFU. Cheers

Believe it or not, they were in use on my '30 Model A Ford.

Now, Rivnuts serve the same purpose for light fastening needs, like mounting a fuel pump, cable/brake lines clamped to a frame rail, etc. I used a lot of them when building my hot rod.
