I have a 69 that was not delivered with side pipes. When I bought the car the owner had installed oem side pipes. After burning myself, I installed cheapo fiberglass covers. I am now ready to install original covers. Appears from what I am seeing that I can order nut plates that are attached to the car. The covers then hang on the nut extension. How are these nut plates attached to the car? [img]blob:https://www.corvetteforum.com/2457596f-0ab2-4445-87d3-20c62bf9ce66[/img]

They attach to the same blind screws the trim attached to. You have to drill some holes in the front to mount the front cover to the side, 2 holes for the front bottom mount to mount into the frame and the rear screws into the frame. Check the AIM, there is a good description in there

Problem- trim plate removed long ago. Most screws were drilled out. I have the two brackets that hold it on to frame. Just not sure how to mount to car since there is only a 1/16 piece of steel plate left
