12-point head fender screws
« on: February 23, 2024, 03:07:34 AM »
Anyone ever seen these before or similar used on these cars? Claims they came off the radiator support to fender on a 79 TA.  I can't read the part number that had changed by the 1980 Assembly manual and none of my guesses translate to known parts.

Thanks, that must have been the part number that didn't come up. Even back then GM were trying to prevent nose swaps! I checked my original, low-mileage 1979 engine bay pics and they are all regular type where visible. My limited 80-81 enginebay pics don't show this area, most pics crop it out.

Actually, when I was reassembling my 79 I had those screws labeled as a front end screw
 I posted a picture if them here asking where they went and someone posted a picture of there location.  I can't remember exactly where they go, but I can open my hood and find out if you need me to.
79 Trans am low buck LS swapped
79 Formula 301 (Work in progress)
67 RS Camaro (waiting it's turn)

Names, Luke. If I hear anyone telling me they're my father....

Yes, I remembered a post once but not the specifics. I probably even saved pics, just didn't type in the right keywords.

Def. not on my 77, and the braces were missing from my 79 so I have no idea what was on there! The only 12pt bolts I was aware of were on the seat belts.

These aren't the brace bars but the 2 on each end of the radiator support when fender wraps over. But why?
