Oizarod115 Posted August 24, 2020 Posted August 24, 2020 Hey Y'all, I'm looking for a set of taillight mounting screws and clips. Anybody got some they can spare? Thanks, -Nick
Oizarod115 Posted August 25, 2020 Author Posted August 25, 2020 Nothing in the store fit the clips I have, didnt measure the thread but it seems to be coarser than 6-32 but about that size. May be metric but none of the std metric stuff fit. so perhaps its not 0.7 thread pitch or maybe its a M3.5 long story short...if you have extra taillight hardware, i'd be stoked to have the factory stuff.
eaglescout526 Posted August 25, 2020 Posted August 25, 2020 34201265 Here's the part number for the clip. Ill try to look it up later in my Mopar screws and bolts book for specifics. Otherwise theres 5 of those clips left in the US.
Oizarod115 Posted August 26, 2020 Author Posted August 26, 2020 Thanks Dude! That would be helpful, I'm happy to order replacement screws from mcmaster if I can get the spec!
eaglescout526 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 Crap, I knew I forgot to do something last night. I'll get it to you tonight.
ghetdjc320 Posted August 26, 2020 Posted August 26, 2020 I used an off the shelf clip with a stainless socket head screw and it’s a perfect fit

ghetdjc320 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Fastenal has them but they are also in the hardware section of pretty much any auto parts store. Just keep in mind that it’s best to use a screw/bolt with a flat shoulder. Anything with a angled shoulder can crack the plastic lens very easily. I’d start by finding the best fitting fastener and then find the appropriate sized nut/clip. Socket head bolts worked well for me. Most parts stores refer to the clips as “speed nuts”
eaglescout526 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 34201265- 1/4" thread diameter, .76"long, .53" wide, .35" from center hole to edge, does not list thread pitch but its made of spring steel and is coated in zinc.

NO way these are 1/4" though.
eaglescout526 Posted August 27, 2020 Posted August 27, 2020 Who knows, I was going off of what the book said, I should go back and reread what the symbol means for what the 1/4" is under. At least I thought it was diameter but I could be wrong. Happy to help though.
Oizarod115 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Posted September 10, 2020 if anyone finds this thread searching, the taillight screws are a #7 sheet metal screw. Finally found some at a better hardware store
