Plasitc in left rear wheel well

I have a 1984 Camaro z28, there is a sagging piece of plastic that covers the fuel fill neck in the left rear wheel well. That plastic cover has two holes in it with these tabs behind it. Searched and went though Classic Industries catalog and came up blank. Can anybody help me identify the hardware or method to hold this plastic piece in place? TIA John

Re: Plasitc in left rear wheel well

Welcome to TGO!!

Is it the plastic panel at minute 19:15?

The screws used from the factory are this style in the Amazon link, these are a little bit larger but they should work, if your factory screws are broken off they'll need to be removed before using another fastener, or if there's room on those mounting tabs you could use the Amazon screws to make new wholes as they are self drilling/self tapping. The factory screws I believe are a 4mm screw with a 7mm hex head.

Re: Plasitc in left rear wheel well

Thanks 91banditt2! It is that the piece! I saw my post and realized it was my first after just lurking for a couple of years Short version of the story is that I am the second owner of my 84 Z28 with 24,664 original miles on it. I figured there might have been some sort of special hardware that held that in based on the fact that the tab only has a notch and not a hole for a screw or bolt or anything. Will go ahead and order the screws, look for my intro post!

Re: Plasitc in left rear wheel well

Its held in by a couple bolt / screws.

The bottom part is just wedged against the body. Its hard to describe but if you look u there its pretty self explanatory. Wedging it up there prevents the back side from falling
