'67 Dodge Dart - I'm looking for these plastic inserts that the headlight bezel screw threads into. I checked 521 Restorations, Mega Parts and Classic.

Anybody know if these are available?

I was looking thru one of those bubble-pack trees for headlite adjuster hardware, there were misc sizes/varieties of the black plastic "buttons" with the "pin" to secure plastic body panels.
I be tempted to see if one of them without the pin could be that anchor.
Musing

Got mine at Ace Hardware.
Nylon screw inserts for a 1/4" square hole. Similar to license plate inserts, just smaller. Fit and worked perfectly in my '66. About a buck a piece.

Got mine at Autozone.
They even carry the headlight adjuster screws with the nylon inserts, though you will have to buy two packages to get 4 of them.

It’s actually kind of amazing what Auto zone has in those bubble packs.
The nylon wiper bushings are another one they have.

So they were generic like in post 5?

Yes, the kind of package that you have to buy some that don’t fit and a few that do.
Think I had to buy 3 packs.

Still way better than having to order and wait.

They even had the headlight adjuster screws with the nylon inserts for those.

No. I bought some of those to see if they would work on 67 and they are different.

67s go into a more square hole the 73/74 is rectangular and the thickness of the retainer is specific to the 67 bezel ( maybe the 68 as well)
