Wheel well Fasteners

Does somebody know if the screws inside the wheel wells are available that connect the plastic insides to the outer wheel wells?
There is like 6 per wheel. Thanks

I know places like Ecklers carries them but they're expensive. You might just go to a local hardware store and buy some.

About six months back, I purchased a package of six fasteners for something in the five dollar area from Discount Auto Parts.

wheel well screws

I have a '96 Collector Editon and wanted to replace the wheel well screws because several were starting to rust. there are two types of screws in the wheel wheels. one is similiar to a sheet metal screw and the other has the same head, but has a fine metric thread. you have to pull each one to see what's what. i got the metric threaded bolts at my local chevy dealer (not expensive). the sheet metal type screws i got a Pep Boys/Auto Zone.

hope this helps.

Wheel Well Fasteners

I have a 1995 and just recently got some screws from my local Chevy Dealer. Try GM Part Number 11508762. GR.8.977.
They come ten to a pack. These are the course threaded type.

Take it to your GM Dealer, you might be surprised what they still have in stock. Of course you will pay.
