Default Rear speaker grill question

Okay, I am going to put some new rear speakers in the back of my 80. My question is about the rear grill mounting hardware. I have 3 of the 6 clips and nuts that I need. I'm looking for 3 of the clips that go into the grill itself. They clip into place and have a threaded bolt on them. Anyone know where I could find a few?

I think those are the ones that attach the grill to the mount. I need the ones that mount the speaker to the grill.

Camss57-

Reviving an old thread, but I was wondering if you found what you needed- as shown here:

I need one of the damn things and was hoping to find someone willing to part with one for a buck or two. The idea of spending 9 plus 9 more to ship is just crazy, especially since I only need one...

I'm also in the process of installing a new stereo (a cheapo Koss unit I've had sitting around new in box for a number of years) in place of the ancient Blaupunkt that was in my 1980 when I got it...

I had none of the threaded posts so I ended up just using 6 bolts the right size with a washer to make them stay in place. Once you slip the speaker over them and tighten everything down they are quite secure.

I also have only one of the clips that the screws are supposed to thread into to hold the grilles in place in the car so I will have to order some of those...
