Firebird front turn-signal screw anchors
Does anyone sell the plastic anchors that insert into the bumper filler panel and the turn-signals screw into? Mine have became brittle and broken. I ordered these but they are 1/4 inch too long so for now I just ground off one end of it and it seems to work just fine in that form but would really like to find the actual part which looked the same but wasn't as long and was black plastic. Some days I really consider buying a nice 3d printer to just make parts like this.
Or if you have the original GM part number that would help.

Re: Firebird front turn-signal screw anchors
Your best bet is to hit the Auveco catalog and start digging. Or if you have a local body supply shop, they might be able to help you match it up. A lot of that little stuff isn't in the Parts & Illustration Catalog. You can go to the history board and search, there's been a link posted to download a PDF copy for the Firebird P&I catalog. You might get lucky and find that it's in there, or you might spend a half an hour looking only to be disappointed.

Re: Firebird front turn-signal screw anchors
cool I ordered a set of these part numbers already another site had gotten back to me on the dimensions of the part.
ID: 9.1x2.9mm
High: 9.7mm
-- so anyone want to buy a set of 4
I don't need 20 of them I'm surprised hawks didn't have them...
Once I get them I'll post back to confirm they fit.

Re: Firebird front turn-signal screw anchors
For what it's worth, last year, I was in Autozone and in the fastener section there are tons of different white plastic license plate fasteners. I had one of my old turn signal ones with me and found a package that matched up perfectly and they popped right in and worked great!
