Need the clips (4 of them) that hold the headlight bezil to the bottom side. One member responded and told me to look at a body supply but had no luck. I also need the guys that hold the grill on , at the bottom rear l&r. Last I need the push/spread pins that hold the splash guards to the front inner fender well.All for my spankin new 1980 mikado. I'm normally good at sourcing parts but these have me stumped. Any help out there would be gladly accepted

What year are we talking about here? I believe 78-80 just use a pretty standard screw clip on the light bezels that you can find a similar part in most parts stores. Most places have a section with little clips, door handles, pins, and various doodads. The brand that comes to mind is HELP! and I've seen them in Autozone, Shucks, and others.

The splash guards push clips are another thing you can find someplace like that. You might also look at jcwhitney, probably easiest to get a catalog from them and see what you can find. I tried to search for stuff like that on their website and could not come up with them, but I am pretty sure I've seen it in their catalogs.

The grill bottom mounts just slip into a rubber grommet in a slot in the valance body piece. If you have nothing on the grill you could probably rig something with a chunk of plumber's tape (metal strip with holes in it). My last 79 truck I used that on the top and the bottom I just zip tied it down because the grill was broken around the mounts.

You might have to get creative for some of these parts. Hit a u pull junkyard and look for something simlar on a more common vehicle. The spread pins I'm sure you could find on something else, might not be exactly correct but they would work.
