66 sport fury console lid question

[66furys]

For some reason, the boys who worked on mine before, removed the "nuts" on the plastic pins on the console lid hinge. Anyone know what type fastener works best here. I am thinking like a push nut in about #10 US or about 4mm. But, would prefer to use a hex type that can be spun off, rather than pried back off. Just thought someone might know what mopar did.....none of my OEM remain. thanks

I used sheet metal nuts, or speednuts, like you would use to retain a fender emblem with, on my console lid.

I tried a # 8, too small, and want to try a #10 flat type, but need to find some.....thanks for help.

The plastic hinge pin is roughly .165 diam, meaning no nut, SAE or mm will work. The No 10 speednut as recommended by Patrick, works. Thanks Might have tried a push nut, but wanted to be able to tighten a bit by turning.
