Ground Effect Fender Brackets

I just found out about the brackets that go on the chin spoiler and rocker panel ground effect pieces. The pieces that I purchased did not come with the brackets, so my search has begun for them.

I have spent a descent amount of time looking for new brackets from a dealer or after market parts dealer, but have had no luck. I went to the junk yard and tried to get them off of another car, but the bolts just break when I try to take the nut off.

Does anyone know where I can find a set of these? The body kit style is 85-89. Thanks

Re: Ground Effect Fender Brackets

Those are exactly what I am looking for, but for a Camaro. Sorry I didn't post my car in the original message (1987 Camaro). I checked through hawks "Ground Effects" section but didn't find any in the Camaro category. Thanks for posting though, much appreciated.

I would appreciate that. I am also looking for a power antenna shaft if your friend happens to have one of those around.

I'll probably end up giving Hawks a call, just waiting for gmpartsdirect.com to reply to me. I found the brackets on there, but when I went to check out, it said the part numbers were bad.

Re: Ground Effect Fender Brackets

I normally can wait, but I need the brackets quick so I can get the car painted. Looks like gmpartsdirect is probably out then.

Does that antenna have a good shaft? I have a good motor and housing, but the antenna shaft is all bent up.
