1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette Body Mount Access Cover U-Nut Set provides a direct-fit replacement for the sheet-metal clips that secure access covers around the body mounts. These U-nuts are designed to restore correct alignment and fastening of access panels, preventing rattles, moisture intrusion, and lost fasteners. Built for corrosion resistance and repeatable use, the set simplifies restorations and routine maintenance by delivering reliable, long-lasting retention where the factory clips have worn or failed.
Features:
- Fits 1968-1982 Chevrolet Corvette (C3) body mount access covers
- Corrosion-resistant zinc-plated steel construction for strength and longevity
- Secures and aligns access cover screws to prevent vibration and cover loss
- Direct-fit replacement for worn or missing original U-nuts — ideal for restorations
- Easy to install clip-on design speeds repairs and reduces panel movement
Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 15-45 minutes (vehicle supported)
Instructions:
- Safely raise and support the vehicle on jack stands to access the body mount areas.
- Locate the access cover(s) around each body mount and remove the retaining screws or fasteners.
- Remove the access cover and inspect the clip locations; clean any rust or debris with a brush or rag.
- If old U-nuts are present, pry them off with pliers or a flat screwdriver and discard.
- Position the new U-nut over the sheet-metal edge or hole so the threaded portion lines up with the access cover screw location.
- Press the U-nut onto the panel until it snaps or seats firmly; ensure the clip is fully engaged and aligned.
- Reinstall the access cover and thread the screw into the new U-nut. Tighten until snug — avoid over-torquing to prevent striping.
- Repeat for each location, lower the vehicle, and verify covers are secure and free of play.
