they repro these...found in all places..check year one or r/t specialties
That's what I am trying to find. R/T Specialties does not carry. Places like McMaster Carr have the right size, but the details are not the same. In other words, I have been able to find replacements this size, but not reproductions.

I've just been going thru the same thing. It bugs me that the new ones are not the same. I went thru my collection of 30 yrs of parting cars and found clean ones for the top of the fenders. I did not find clean ones for the fender bottoms tho. I looked all over and even researched the original mfg (CIP, California Industrial Products). They are still around as part of ITW. They apparently have a couple diffrent lines they sell. If you find them in Napa, you will see they are somewhat closer to the originals than the ones that they sell to Lowes, etc. I was going to use the Napa versions, but found enough from my stash.
I found the same thing doing some online search of CIP (the original vendor), but the new lines don't appear as the same. You bring up a good point about NAPA. I noticed last time I was in NAPA they had a lot of nice looking body hardware. I'll check them out today.
