Title: '68 Charger tail lights
Post by: john108 on June 19, 2019, 01:06:27 PM
About to install the tail lights.  The 3/16 dia. Studs protrude about 3/4 inch into the trunk.
#10-24 thread I believe. 

What does the retaining nuts look like?  Simple nut or something more complex??

Thank you.
That means that the nuts I have are not right.
I will also have to search through all the plastic bags I have in many hiding places.
