Size of nut that holds the back of the e-brake console in place?

[IS300E30]

The back of the e-brake console, you take out the ashtray and their is supposed to be a nut of some sort that holds it down it place. Does anyone know the size of the nut that screws on and holds it in place or if it is not a nut, does anyone know the part number for this?

RealOEM does indeed indicate the p/n barbierij posted, though mine also was the same plastic 10mm nut as the one found in the front section of the console which is #6 - p/n 16131176747:

over the years it was probably lost and replaced with one of those plastic ones. I checked three cars, and only one has a nut there and it was the plastic nut. I do remember taking a metal one off one of these cars and I lost it. If I take the cover off the '91iX I will check it.

I have pulled many e30s apart, always the plastic 10mm nut.

plastic nut, the threads are very coarse on the stud that sticks up from the body...no way that metal nut/washer was used for that, probably just a realoem mistake.

fyi its the same plastic nut that holes down the rear iS spoilers on the trunk

plastic nut. yea same as what holds the IS spoiler and the splash guard

FYI, the hex on the nut is 10mm, not the thread. Thread is more like 5mm or so.
