Fender Extension Nuts

[1971Chevelle]

Does anyone know the actual type of nut that is used to tighten up the fender extensions on a '71 and where I can buy them? Someone sent me a couple of them a while back, but the ones on the other side won't tighten up anymore. Let me know. Thanks.

Aren't they standard push barrel nuts?

I just looked those up and they look nothing like what is on there.

That would be the correct kit, but I am going to see if my local Ace Hardware has the nuts. NPD wants $12 to ship that tiny little package. And I am not sure where the rubber washer go. I am presuming that they go behind the nuts, but I never knew that there were any of those on the car.

I think it is there to prevent the fender extension from rattling.

I have some kits at home I'll look through this evening.

If you haven't already found them by then.

71's and 72's have studs that feed into the radiator support and fender.
