Default 1965 GTO fan shroud bolts

I am missing the attaching nuts and bolts for my 65 GTO - any suggestions on where I can get them and what do they look like. The original owner took the front apart to chrome the shroud and never put it back on - that was in 1978! any help would be greatly appreciated

They look the same as the ones across the front.

I believe this is a Jim Mott restored car:



And this is the Ed Lis unrestored car:

Disclaimer - I'm showing the "finger guard", rather than the full fan shroud which came on air conditioning equipped cars.

Hopefully that is what you meant.

I think Ames sells them. Part Number P148 includes bolts and cage nuts.

looks like the 4 in the gaurd have built in washer and the ones across the front have a captured washer. im trying to figure out where each type was used so those pictures helps.

here is a picture of the bolts across the front of my original 65 GTO

the 4 across the front are the same and the 4 attaching the latch mechanism are the same

i also looked on the original 65 Lemans i am parting and all 8 (4 across the front and 4 around the latch are the same) are the same as the latch bolts on the 65 GTO
