bt,
Get yourself an Assembly Instruction Manual and not only does it have drawings of the parts and necessary bolts and brackets, etc. but also their factroy part numbers, Some say that a photo is worth a thousand words, but you can't go past a factory part number if you want the right part.

I have a similar type question about the 1982 spoiler/air dam. I have the replacement parts. When I started to remove the old spoiler, it appears as thought sheet metal/self tapping screws were used to attach the outside edges. Is that correct? The hardware kit came with ten (10) bolts only.
