    Where can I find these acorn nuts

    Hello all… I’m looking for these type of acorn nuts that hold on my lettering on the back of my 70 corvette. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

    thanks in advance.

    Are they the same as the acorn nuts in this thread?

        I think it may be the same… thanks for the replies. I’ll see if they can still be ordered.

          My '72 AIM says these "nuts" should be #9420202, which do not look like acorn nuts and are not the same as the fuel door emblem. I've not looked up there on my car so can't confirm what they look like.

              Okay… I ordered the acorn nuts from Davies corvette parts and they look the same as the original ones on the car but they are slightly larger and just slip over the pin that holds them on. I guess back to my search. I did already go to a local hardware store with no luck on that front.

              again, any help you can provide is great.

                If they are the same as the acorn nuts that hold the C2 deck lid trim on, I may have some.

                    Since no one responded to this, I did a little further digging. The '69 AIM says the same fastener number as the '72 AIM – 9420202 – and Mid-America shows them as:

                    However, I snapped a pic of what my '72 uses to fasten the rear letters - certainly look like acorn nuts to me:IMG_1663.jpg
                    (I'm kinda surprised at the amount of blue paint up there...)

                            Also. AMK Products has NOS fasteners. just type the GM part number to see if they have it. Correct finishes and head markings.
                            They are a great resource.

                              Ah. I see said the blind man. So acorn style is correct for that part number? I wonder why MAMOTR has different / incorrect listed under that PN.
