In my zeal to add LED headlights I have found out the person prior to me attached the bezel to grille using small bolts and nuts.  Does anyone know the correct hardware used to attach the bezel to the grille and where to purchased said hardware.  A picture of the hardware would be great.  Thank you, Jeff

Mr Cuda

The screw is unique to that location only, on a 70 barracuda.  The slide clip also.
As far as where? It should be available,  but haven't needed one. Here's a picture of them.

So being geometry impaired, I assume the plastic clip goes somewhere in the grille slats the screw goes through the bezel and into the clip?

Sorry, here you go

Might try Dave at Roseville Moparts.  He usually has an excellent selection of those hard to find parts.

Thanks for posting all these pictures. My next step is removing the grill so I can blackout the front of the core support. Now I know what hdw I may need or at least look for. I'm seeing so many of these cars that body colour shows through the grill. It takes away from the natural looks of the grill.....Joe

From what I can see the ones in the kits don't look like Mr Cuda's

They look more like the replacements from Auveco

They probably will work, I doubt Jeff would include them in his kit otherwise. I took a couple out of my spare grille and they look like Mr Cuda's.

I recieved the parts.  I started getting to work.  Is there anyway that anybody knows of to put the black screw recievers in without taking the grille off?  I am in the middle of trying to correct someone elses errors.  So the grille was already in.
