Frequently asked questions

What is a Spire Nut and what does it do?
A Spire Nut is a J-type sheet-metal spring nut, also called a speed nut. It clips over a panel edge or into a pilot hole and presents a captive thread that takes a self-tapping screw, spreading the fixing load and resisting loosening from vibration.
Where is this spire nut used on the vehicle?
On these Land Rovers the spire nut secures trim and panels: the Discovery 1 1989-1998 heater assembly, and the Range Rover Classic 1986-1994 bodyside outer panels, rear lamps and heater assembly.
How many spire nuts do I need?
You'll typically need one spire nut per screw location, so order to suit your panel or trim job. They're often renewed once removed, as the spring steel can lose its grip after being bent back.
Are any special tools needed to fit it?
No special tools are typically needed. The spire nut pushes onto the panel edge or into the hole by hand, then the self-tapping screw draws into the captive thread to pull the panel tight.
