Front Nose Parts

OK, So I'm removing the front fenders from my 82Z when the uppermost nut that holds the rubber nose to the fender just turns. I get a small saw blade and cut the stud. Where can I find the replacement studs that are threaded into the nose piece. The GM parts manuals say that they are part of the nose.

The stud is a part of a mounting bracket in the nose piece. The stud you cut and the one below it are both a part of that bracket.

You'll need to replace that bracket. Its not actually a permanent part of the nose... If you look, you'll see there are little tabs holding it on. Just pry those back and it'll come out.

You should be able to use one off of any third gen camaro.
