Hey guys, I'm finally ready to install my factory tire carrier on the right hand side of the back of Elsie. I misplaced or tossed out the nut that goes in the top of the hinge. This pic shows what i'm missing. I know SOR has then for $4 but the greedy arses want $18 to ship two nuts and that's insane.
I've gone to the hardware store and NOTHING fits. This is a special fine thread. I've looked in the fastener FACTS page and only found the bolt sizes for mounting the hinge to the tub. I believe this is a 16mm nut, but not sure and don't know the thread size.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

99% sure thats not oe.
I'm 100% sure it is OEM hinge. I got it from my neighbor that is the original owner of his FJ and he took this off of his. AND, it looks exactly like every other hinge you will find for sale for this year.
