Dorman Clip / Spring Nut P/N:961-305D
Dorman 961-320D spring nut clips onto a panel to give a screw or bolt a threaded hold. Also called a clip nut, this is a wide-panel U-type style.
A loose, missing or crushed spring nut can leave a screw spinning without tightening or a panel rattling. Before you replace it, rule out a stripped screw or a bent panel edge, and plan on one spring nut for each screw location.
This is universal hardware, sold by size and thread rather than by application. Match the thread size and length to the spring nut you are replacing.

This part cross-references / interchanges with the following part numbers:
How do I know if the Dorman 961-320D spring nut is the right size?
Match the thread size and length to the one you are replacing. Dorman 961-320D covers M6-1.0 and M8-1.25 threads and is 1 in long.
How many spring nuts come in the Dorman 961-320D pack?
The pack contains six metal U-type spring nuts in M6-1.0 and M8-1.25 thread sizes. Screws and bolts are not part of the listed contents.
Are these steel spring nuts zinc coated?
No. The finish is listed as none, so these steel spring nuts carry no zinc coating. They are also not heat hardened.
Why does my screw spin without tightening in a panel with a spring nut?
The spring nut can be crushed or loose, or the screw thread can be stripped. Look for a cracked or flattened clip and a damaged screw; a shop can sort out the cause if it is unclear.
Does Dorman 961-320D replace number 457020?
Yes, 457020 is listed as an interchange number for Dorman 961-320D. Still match the thread size and length to your old spring nut.
