The 1/4" indicator lights on the dash are held in by what I incorrectly call a push nut. What are they called so I can find them online? All I can seem to find that would work but are just a bit too heavy duty. Thanks.

Yep those are them. Thanks. Locally I couldn't find squat. Online I was finding a heavier version from Dorman and Grainger but not the flat rectangle style. I was drawing a blank thinking of McMaster. When googling "push nut fastener" didn't produce what I wanted so I wasn't sure if that was the correct term.

Todd,
McMaster has never shown up in any online searches I have ever done. I feel they for some reason have it blocked. FYI, it's my opinion, Grainger sucks!!!  In all my years of purchasing industrial components and maintenance items at work as well as for myself, I have never found a worse company to deal with. They are the very last source I will ever go to!

I couldn't agree with you more about Grainger Pete. They're all around terrible and yet still a necessity here. I don't know why they use part numbers because the number is only valid for a year. Time and time again I'll go to them with a part number for a Dayton motor 3 years old and they can't figure it out because they revamped their system. They can only figure it out by frame size, hp, voltage, etc etc....: then why bother having a part number!?
