Default Attaching Front Valance Panel - '74

Hello,

My front spoiler and front valance panel (link below) have never been attached to my vette. The previous owner gave them to me unattached. A few parts were damaged on the valance panel, but I can use washers when I install. I ordered the attaching hardware kit for the spoiler (10 bolts/nuts) but I can't seem to find the attaching hardware for the valance panel itself. Does anyone know where to find them? Also, I searched through the AIM for how the valance panel and front spoiler attach but couldn't find it. Anyone know the page or have a diagram?

Thank you!

I believe they are the same size as the spoiler. I am going by my memory. The screw length may be different, but I don't think so. You may be able to get this or something close at your local hardware store.

It just seems weird that no one seems to sell the hardware for this. They have a hardware kit for the spoiler, but not the valance panel. I guess I can just try some different size bolts/nuts from the hardware store...

Home Hardware has scores of bolts. Take one along with you to match.
