Found some of those nuts which appear to be the type you are looking for, dropped them in the mail last week.  Hope its what you are looking for.

They look like the same ones used on the 72-74 Challenger Rallye fender louvers.  I got replacements from R/T Specialties.

Yes they are the same, but that was likely years ago....not available any more :'(

I'll buy any old ones you might have... :takemymoney:

Dug through my hardware box when you first were asking for these, knowing I had a few extra side markers in the box.

Then saw your post about needing 24 per car... soooo I guess we are both short....  :crying:    Repo fender gills came with incorrect nuts.

I had 4 in my stash that only have one cutting thread, not two....    :thinking:

Those ones are designed for a machine thread like on Challenger marker lights ...I got lots of those :('

Don't the correct originals have a quarter inch spongy type gasket on the ends of them?

anlauto

At this point, I don't care, do you have any, we could make a trade  :)

@anlauto  just saw these on ebay. I don't know if they're correct since I know less (if that's even possible) about '72-'74 Cudas.
