Default Correct SCREWS for f/r wheel flares on early Trans Ams -- where and what to buy

Anyone able to show me what the original front and rear wheel flare screws look like for early 2nd gen Trans Ams.

The ones AMK sells are different than Firebird Central etc.

Thanks.

Anyone with an early 70-73 trans am able to verify the original wheel flare screw style and send a pic if you still have them on your car?

Thanks.

But AMK shows a different screw for the rear than the front. Is that true?

The one you posted is shown to be for the front flares. Are all your flares using the same screw front and rear?

Two threads on the subject. The first one has pictures linked of a low mileage SD TA.

I should add the rear spoilers were put on by Fisher Body and fronts were assembly line added. They could be the same or different.

This style screw is what is showing to be for the -rear- flares on AMK's site.

The front screws are shown to be like the other photo shown here in the thread with a flatter head which would make sense for perhaps tire clearance and as noted different manufacturing procedures front and rear.

Thanks!

Thats what the ones on my 70 TA look like and all the T/As I own.
Norwoods car looks like the ones for the upper stainless trim above the side windows on deluxe trim cars or the stainless wiper trim on an A body GTO, Chevelle or 442.

I bet they used whatever they had on hand.
