Hi All,

I have been looking, without success, for the correct size for the nut plates that slip on to the wheel well liners. I have checked the hardware stores in my area and the ones they carry typically have been to big and don't fit right. Mcmaster Carr has a good selection too but wondering if anyone knows the ones to get that fit correctly. I know, should be straight forward piece to get but I have been having a hard to finding the right ones.

Anyhelp is greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Jon

I took a set up to my local ACE hardware. Had a handful of replacements in a few minutes there. Key is going to a real hardware store.

I was able to get the exact product from my local auto parts supplier. O'Reilly's or any of the others should be able to access. The correct part is:

#14 screw, panel
Range .125 - .250
Center Hole to Edge: 11/32 in.

Made by: Auto-Vehicle Parts Co.

Thanks Jim,

I have had no luck finding these bolts locally. Neither Napa, O'reilly's, ACE Hardware, nor Lowes. All of these stores had body bolts but were all machine thread type or to larger. I did find a site that has tons of body hardware and found one that might work. It's 6.3mm (0.248in) which is close to #14 (0.242in). Great price too...just don't need 50 of them!

I'll keep checking around but might order these....
