Go to Doctor Rebuild, he has the right stuff. Here is a link, you need J&K to hold the louvers in place.

It would help if we knew what year car you are talking about. Each year is different.

Yeah...U-Right! I just guessed he was looking for the 68-69 louver fasteners. Now it appears I assumed wrong. The doctor has good stuff though.

You could always take a ride over to Carlisle this weekend. Should be vendors at the show that would have these.

One screw stud (welded to center bottom of grill) goes into a metal bracket (that's rivited to inner fiberglass flange on fender) and fastened with a nut. The rest of the mount screws go through the grill into U-nuts. Check the DocRebuild catalog for mount pics & parts.

Get the AIM (Assembly Instruction Manual) for your year from one of the vendors. These were used on the assembly line when our vettes were being built. Also get the Chassis repaie manual as well. Both are invaluable.
