:pout:I just wanted to know if anybody has tried to put new studs on the 67 camaro light bezels. If so did it work well? Just woundering because I broke one stud on mine and I don't want to spend so much for repros because people say they don't fit well. Just wanted to Know if there was any good methods people have tried to save the originals and if so can you guys share your methods. Any Ideas Will Be Greatly Appriciated.:D

I must not understand what you are asking. I can not for the life of me figure out what studs are on the front light bezels. The studs on the rears brake lights are part of the bezel. Are you maybe talking about parking or back=up lights. The repos for them are fine for fit.
Back-up repo's have metric bolts which Classic Industried said I was the only one that ever notice. I double that.

Sorry I Really need to be more specific:o. I ment the rear light bezels that hold the parking and brake lights. Just wanted to know if people have tried to restud them due to lack of money or just trying to save the originals.

My guess is that you might be able to drill and tap, even though there was no true stud on them. The studs are part of the bezel, not a seperate bolt. If you can not tap (drill & thread) you can for sure drill a hole from the outside, push a long skinny bolt through and put a nut and washer in the trunk. Might be able to hide with the right bolt and black paint. Won't be a show care, but only the connoisseur will really notice.

Good Luck!

I replaced mine in 2003, same reason, i don' t know of any way to fix the speed nut area that is broken I think it is like pot metel, I bought the morroso brand ,wich is off the market due to not fitting right .I had no problem with them personally. hope this helps

No, but I saved a front RS parking lamp with same stud setup- couldnt find a GM replacement.

Drill small hole in end of broken stud. Install a small sheet metal screw with head 1/8 or so below desired height. Coat/cover the screw with PC7 epoxy and form to look like a stud. A little lacquer thinner will keep the epoxy from sticking to your fingers and does wonders for your skin.

Let harden then work the speed nut on and off to form some threads. . Paint stud with touch up silver to cover the gray repair area. Install and thread on nut- touch up with paint.

If you can afford them, the OER's from Classic Industries were fine but $90 each. I still don't get why if they are having the part made for THEM, why they can not have the studs made the right size???
