My second 1965 Dodge Dart.

I have not been able to find any screws and nuts for fastening the Candy canes and hood molding. Does anyone know where I can find that ? Does not have to be NOS, but have to fit and work and be new.

Today I was looking in my parts book, and discovered something that puzzles me. Chrysler has one part number for the fastener screw, and one part number for the nut. When we took the molding of the hood at the junk yard, I will say it was an untouched hood. And it had the same fastener from one end to the other. But it had two types of nuts. It is supposed to be a #10-24 bolt on the fastener and the nuts on each end of the molding were regular nuts with a washer under. Have to look into that and see if I can get them cleaned up some for a picture. But, all the other nuts between those on the end was sheet metal nuts, those thin nuts pressed out of a piece of sheet metal. So, then Chrysler should have listed two types of nuts, but they don't do that.

The fastener itself does not look like a Auveco #2744 either, they do not have that long thin metal spring. I have to see if I can find that too. I realize the Auveco #2744 will fit, that is not the issue, just wonder why it seems to be a discrepancy between reality and the parts book.

So, where is the secret hidden here ?
