securing taillights bezels

[kfrese]

Hi guys I am about to get my four taillights bezel back from chrome and I am not sure which fasteners to use when I install them. When I bought my 73 dart sport it didn't have tail light bezels. I was thinking maybe I could use the same fasteners that secure the side markers. Can anyone help me out. Thanks so much

Sheet metal nuts, like the side markers should do. Just be sure that you use the size that barely will not slide over the entire stud. If they are too tight, they can break the pot metal studs off.

I'd also suggest cutting the threads first, with them off the car with a nut driver (ratchets and wrenches emit too much torque, if you need a handle, they aren't big enough) and use some seam sealer on the studs, inside and out, when you put them on, to seal the holes from weather.

Hope this helps.
