Anyone know if there are replacement studs available for parts that were captive on exterior trim parts? This part is the quarter/tail panel extension on a 70 Dart (LH and RH).

I'm also looking for a robust procedure for removing the stud. My initial thoughts were to trim the damaged studs down and then drill the stud out followed by tapping the molded stanchion and use of some adhesive.

they were cast in pot metal with the part so they
are soft and break easy
i don't think they were ever available separate
from the part itself
no replacements that i know of and
you are on the right path with your repair thoughts.
i just hunted down some with good studs myself
instead of a repair

I did this on my 68 Charger ,similar set up, I ground off the broken stud,drilled & tapped for a stud.

Finished product after obtaining some very good experience at work today. No cracks in the stanchions either.

Thank you for the feedback on the how to repair.

We used a 1/4-20 Grade-8 bolt and trimmed it down to roughly an 1.5" length. The bolt tip was sanded to a point to match the other three.
