While I'm delighted I can find a GM restoration-grade urethane rear bumper cover for my 1980 car, I'm finding it a lot harder to find the auxiliary parts that go with it, those being the taillight housings, the license plate support brackets/nuts, and rivets to hold the body mount retainers. After corresponding with several parts shops, I'm thinking the only course of action is to remove and restore the originals, which I'm happy to do. Probably better that way anyway...
But my question would be two-fold: has anyone found these parts to be available, and if so, where? Or, more likely, what type of rivets are these and where might I find those? There must be two dozen different rivets and pop rivets used on this car, and very few are carried by the usual parts shops. (Maybe I should also scour the Driveline...)
TIA...
(And yes, great to have covers available, but the cost is truly painful!)
