Also it's different for if your car was made in LA or Hamtramck Are you taking about the screws that go into the valence brackets? Let me know and I'll get you an answer. They are not the same as the exhaust shields

Here is a picture of 70 cuda mounting brackets with the original screws firmly stuck in them. The have an overall length of 0.75" - top of screw head to the end of the screw. The washer is captured but lose. Below you will see the reference listing that Dave Wise has for the top and bottom. He shows a screw with the washer being a formed part of the screw head. He lists 10-24 with a thread length of 0.625 Now it could be a difference between the two factories, but all my Challengers have had the lose washer type screw. Hope this helps.

I have those screws on the top valance as described in the picture in the book. I need the lowest valance bolts with captive washer attached.

The top screws and bottom screws should be the same. Are you saying you need two more screws like what you have in the top?
