Take one of the others out and go to a hardware or auto parts store and find a match.

There's "NO BOLT TO BODY" in the location you mention - Are you wanting maybe the left fender panel lower rear bolt? This is a bolt that you'd need to remove to service the battery. You would insert an end wrench between the rocker finish and the fender panel to access it.

If yes it's an M6 X 1.0 X 25 with a self-starting pilot with I believe a flange head. Very common to the entire damn car and on the shelf at nearly every car dealer foreign and domestic in your local area.

*** Or maybe a rocker molding screw?

If you you want a good screw go to OT. if you want a original 94 screw send me the replacement and a self addressed box and I will give you mine off my 94.

sounds to me like you're looking for a standard m4.2 - 1.41 x 20 self tapping, hex head, sem screw (12mm washer).



nothing unique about these screws to worry about originality - I mean, its not like it has a date code or anything - . these are a standard part and used all over the place on your corvette. sold at a variety of places - dealers, hardware stores, autozone, advanced, etc.. FWIW, I keep boxes of these, and other standard hardware around the shop - http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/M4_...w_p/a12742.htm

another standard part and the mating end of the screw is the nylon retaining grommet.



http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Sea...=11&Search.y=9 these are used to retain the rocker panel, and interior door panels. like the screw, you can get these just about anyplace. over years, these things get brittle, crack, break, get over assembled, and sometimes just fall out. while you're at it, you may want to check the mating end of that missing screw.
