Speed nut and bolt source ???
I swapped out my radiator today. I have the long one for the 6.9l copper and brass. I had the shop I bought the previous radiator from install it. They mixed up the fasteners between the support and the plastic fan shroud. So when I reassembled I placed the fasteners where they were supposed to go. At the final speed nut and bolt I realized he stripped out the speed nut with the wrong bolt. Then i boogered up the bolt trying to get it to thread into the stripped speed nut. It's a 3/16"×1-1/4" bolt with the integral washer and the speed or clip nut. It would be nice to get OEM replacement but I'm not holding out for that. Where do you suggest I go to get a replacement? I'm thinking I'll stop first at NAPA. Where else?

Thanks for the replies. I have the speed nut and bolt on the way, though it seems to be delayed by Santa's sleigh? If you need the speed nuts and bolts for holding your stock radiator shroud on to your stock radiator search that exact term on ebay and you will find that specific application. Part is three days late if it gets here tomorrow. Thanks Santa.
