Okay, this is for a '70 New Yorker-- but hey, a New Yorker is really an
un-gussied up Imperial! And I think the same fasteners were used on
fuselage Imperials.
These are used to hold sound deadening & insulating material inside the
passenger compartment onto the firewall. They're made out of black
plastic and are about 2" long. They sort of look like screws, but you
don't screw 'em in, you push 'em in. They are designed to push in but
not pull out. The first 1" is smooth, then the next inch has ribs on it
(please, no jokes) designed to hold it in place. The head is a flat
circular disc of plastic and has a hole in the center.
Anyway, I was removing some of this padding and broke a couple of these
fasteners. The autoparts stores here ain't got 'em.
Anybody have any? Or know of a source for them?
Muchas gracias, Mark M
