  Does anybody know what size the original hardware screws were for the rear taillights? There are two screws that hold the duolamp rear lenses in, but the ones I have are old and don’t match. Would like to replace them. Appreciate any leads on where y’all got yours

  As I recall those should be 10-32.

  The parts catalog calls them out as 8-32 x 3/8" oval head nickle plated screws (P/N 29552 S6). I would look for stainless screws. They are closest in look to the available screws, next would be chrome plated screws.

  Here is an amazing fact --- find a electrical outlet cover in your house or garage.
Remove one of the screws. It is exactly what you will need - same size, diameter, and thread count.
Of course, it is not nickel plated.
