1978 GMC Bezel Clips
« on: September 16, 2015, 09:30:05 am »
Anyone know where I can locate just the retainer clips the dash components screw into? I don't need the screws, just the clips.

Here's a good example:

The bottom line has dropped

J-nuts and U-nuts are available from AutoZone, NAPA, O'Reilleys, Orchard Supply Hardware, Lowes, Home Depot, etc.  The originals are sized to a #6 screw if I recall correctly.

It's difficult to know just how much you don't know until you know it.
In other words... if people learn by making mistakes, by now I should know just about everything!!!

Kinda pricey though, I'd check local parts stores first, as has already been suggested.
