Can anyone tell me what the standard non-foglight horn grill screw size is?

I see the fog-light grill kits come with clips and screws, do the non-fog light grills need the clips also?

I was hoping to just find them local at a hardware store.

The clips go on/into the bumper so yes. If you have the bumper and the non-fog lite grills just find a screw that fits thru the 4 corners of the grill then get a Self Tapping Screws Spring clip that the screws fit in.

They are tinnerman nuts. You can get easily at any ACE hardware store.

Just curious? Fog light grills come with screws? I had not included but maybe I should. Perhaps stainless?

TM - same-same screws & speednuts/clips on all grills, whether with or without foglights.

Mark - that would be a great idea to include SS screws & (SS?) speednuts/clips with your repro grills! Ditto for an other of your parts where the mounting hardware is required. You could make it an option with or without hardware, like you did with your repro engine lid raintrays.

Follow up question.

Anyone know what size the screws should be? Thread pitch and OAL?

Just noticed above that self tapping was recommended. So I'm guessing the clips aren't threaded.
