They use special clips that go through the holes in the fender and then go through the turn signals and clip on.

I would have to take a picture, but I don't have a camera right now. Hopefully someone else has a picture of what they look like.

I can't imagine these are quite common from retailers. I'd say hit up a junkyard.

Re: turn signal mounting?

Anyone have a good alternative to these plastic nut type things which mount the turn signals?

Mine just basically crumbled...

Re: turn signal mounting?

It's actually called a nut,GM P/N 3999700
Checkout this site,http://www.clipsandfasteners.com/Gro..._s/104.htmthey have them,their under a different P/N,I may have given you a old P/N.
These look like what your looking for,I don't recall the screw size
