Have you tried LMC Trucks, Dennis Carpenter, Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts Inc., Or National Parts Depot?

Thanks, LMC actually had them, the online picture wasn't clear and called it a nut.

It's usually those little things that bring a project to a screeching halt or at least keep ya from doing it "right".

I don't know about you guys but I always grab extra clips, inserts, harness clips, trim screws, bolts, rubber bumpers, etc. while I'm at the salvage yard. They don't usually charge for them and when they do, I show them the tub of hardware and I as "How about $5?" which they usually agree to. I've got quite a selection and have stored them in a couple of these compartmentalized storage boxes from Harbor Freight.
