69 GT350 grill nuts and washers
« on: March 20, 2022, 02:36:03 AM »
The top piece of the grill is a right angle steel piece that has threaded studs to attach the grill mesh to it. Any one have pictures of original nuts and washers as well as know if they are painted the same as the grill or left unfinished?
I’ve gone through the Shelby Special parts addendum and AMK’s list of attachment hardware and have found everything to attach the front end except for those fasteners. I’m attaching pictures but the nuts that I have are ordinary square nuts with assorted scrap pieces of broken clips and washers to hold everything together.

Thanks Guys! I had a couple of those that were broken with a square nut holding it down. A friend took the old one to  an ACE Hardware  store and found an exact match for them.

Race track looking trim mounted on grill mesh by contrast uses the round shaped push nuts.

Thanks Bob, I got those coming from AMK but I couldn’t find anything from them on the rectangular keepers. We found an exact replacement at ACE Hardware.
