Default C5 GM Bra Snaps

Earlier this month I traded my 2001 in on a Spiral Gray 04, I just realized that I left the hardware attached to the 2001, and I know have a bra w/no snaps. I check'd w/the dealer and my 01 is gone. I'd like to try and avoid buy a brand new bra, when I only need the hardware. Any ideas you might have would be appreciated. I even thought about going to a sewing store to see if they might have the snaps that attach under the nose and in the wheel wells.

Thankx

Some marine supply dealers have them. Also could get some snaps from a fabric store and attach with some screws (what I did).

Use the above link and order the stainless steel screw studs for 40 cents a piece. I ordered the 5/8 inch ones but the one inch will work also. Good luck.

If you have a boating store near by, get "handi-man marine" stainless steel self-tapping canvas fasteners stud wood screw part no. 125. Package has qty 4.

They screw into the same speed nuts already in place when you remove the existing screws.

Find a West Marine or similar store in your area. Easy to find.
