Front valance hardware.
 
Hi!
Just got started aligning the front end, having the endura bumper is going to give me a headache for sure... Anyway.

When i disassembled the valance panel along with the parking lamps i had roughly 5 types of bolts altogether... Some fine, some coarse...

I've searched the restoration guide and both shop manuals for correct ones without any luck.

I was hoping someone in here could shed some light on what bolts might be correct.

All of those bolts attached to clip nuts and that's what's going to determine whether it's a fine or coarse thread. Sounds like you might have a mixed bag...With that said, I can't tell you what the original configuration was but I can't imagine that they had a mixture of coarse and fine threads from the factory.

If you go to AMK and type in “G-7401” they will break down all the fasteners needed and include pics of each piece. G-7391 is the parking lamp hardware.

99% of what I’ve received from them in their Master Kits has been spot on. The valance hardware listed above fit perfectly for me, although I never had original hardware there when I got the car to compare it to.

Thanks for your replies!
I saw Ames carry correct ones aswell. Usually takes 3-4 weeks to receive a parcel but if thats the only way i guess i'll take it.

I am doing a complete front-end removal for painting and re-assembly. I just bought the Master Body kit from AMES. It has every correct bolt and screw and the speed nuts and washers. The package comes with a description of each piece and location. Each different set of fasteners comes bagged separately with each bag marked by description.
The kit is excellent. It is a little pricey, but I believe that it is worth it.
