We gave it a try. I will see if there's anything close out there. There's a seller out of Idaho Falls that has lots of the odd items too. Can't think of his name at the moment.

Just found him. He is away for a few days, but he might have what you are looking for.

They look just like the ones for my 69 Barracuda side marker bezels. No extras though.

I'm not sure if eBay's having technical issues again, when I click on the URL you posted it shows he has no items for sale.  However if you do a parts search it appears he has items listed.

Usually when sellers are on a hiatus, their listings are not displayed until the seller returns bringing listings active and then buyers can proceed with business as normal.

Good as place as any to add these pictures to the site before my hard drive crashes.

The "orange" picture is an edited one from anlauto. The other pics are mine. I took & saved them when my car was apart at various times and decided to superimpose them today. I did a quick search to see if I'd already posted something similar but didn't find anything. So, I guess you didn't miss these in a previous post.

Quote from: Ns1aar on February 11, 2022, 02:18:05 PMThey can be made using an existing 1/8 inch acorn nut with the 7/16 hex and the #10 HX Flng stamped nut. The diameter of the base is slightly smaller
Better than nothing. It takes a drill, chisel, 7/16 deep socket and a vise The one on the left is OEM the one on the right is the cross breed
Quote from: anlauto on January 24, 2022, 12:55:16 PMOkay, so I took Floyd's advice and bought 100 of the B-12967 from AMK.
YES...they are self-cutting, but NOT the right size, unfortunately they may be good for some emblems or something, but the will NOT fit the side marker lights, so the hunt continues...

That's quite interesting Floyd, that's for the link....I just ordered 100 of them....we'll see IF they come in and IF they are the right size... :fingerscrossed: :popcorn:
. Can you tell me the size of the hole you need? I have some I just don't know if they're any different than what you already have. I found about 16 of them, but I think I have more when Victor Calvert died. I picked my car up and I got all my parts and they gave me everything else they had which is a bunch of hemi flywheels and all kind of parts that I have no idea what they fit. There's so many parts here.

I bought 3 or 4 sets from Denny.  He has boxes of them.  Don't buy them all, but if you do remember me.  He has tons of NOS hardware.
