i have tried a few of the usual suspects,
not auveco yet.
i just shot them a email,
will see what they say..
i noticed there is a grille hardware kit out there for every car
except a 71/2 ply b
unless i get lucky
it looks like i will be buying me some junk grilles
and asking some wierd questions about them. lol

The ebody switch panel used one that is very similar, the only difference is the top is a little concave. I use them on the reproduction 71 Cuda grille head light rings. R/T Specialties has them.

i think they might be considered part of the grille assembly itself?
they do fall off pretty easy because
i'm missing alot of them on the grilles/parts grilles i have on hand.
after i noticed them missing on my grille,
i figure i could scrounge them up but i only found
the one in the pics.
it looks like
i might have to try what mike suggested and see if i
can make something work or i have to find me some junk grilles..

Flypaper, the screw retainer Tom has is identical and push on exactly the same as the one you show. The only difference is they are a little "cupped" on the top, other that that they are identical. Call Tom at R/T (if he'll answer the phone), he has them.
