My COPO came to me disassembled. I need to find the correct fasteners for the tail light extensions..4 per side appear to be a stamped type nut.Anyone have a source? Thanks again SyC.

Bud, I'd show you if I had one and that is part of the problem. I think they are stamped sheetmetal type things with a flange..almost looks like a upside down soup bowl...I think! The threading is just a tang punched to the side of the center hole..sort of self tapping. Thanks.

Bill the 300 is gone..had no time for it and needed the room and finances to finish the COPO..tough decision but one that had to be made..went to a good home though.

Bud..thanks for the pics that looks like them...now to find eight of them http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif

A source? Yes. I know of a guy that might be able to help you. He owns a 69 Rally Green Z28. He is going to be putting in some white tailights, and doesn't need the original extension hardware anymore. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
