Found generic assortments but there seams to be a zillion sizes and styles. Have found kits that have the screws but no luck with U clips (if that's the proper name for them)? | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 1,901 |

That Dorman link that Caso posted only showed metric ones.  Can't use those on a stovebolt  The auto parts stores typically have the right (Std thread) ones in their "Help" section, or they may have a sample book behind the counter.

If anything I fault Dorman for not having them in their catalog. Cheers to you for the suggestion.

I'm attempting to save some clips off a couple munched spare grills, will see if there is anything left after bead blasting. Grill is at the powder coater now, good thing I have the spares, even this CA grill is rusted through in some places. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | DADS50, Where did you purchase those screws #443360 Also that looks like a dealer promo truck no?
Thanks

The clips cleaned up pretty nice and between the three grills, should have enough to do my good one. All the screws though are pretty rusty. Powder coat on the grill will be a bright silver for the horizontal bars front half with white on the back, verticals will be black.
