Looking for two items - stainless fender nuts and fuel filler gasket?

[hyghlndr]

Hi, not sure if these exist or not?

Anyone offer fender clip nuts in stainless steel?

The fuel filler gasket between the 1977 pastic housing and the metal body?

Probably your best defenses for the fender clips are zinc coated bolts with a decent coating of anti-seize.
I’m not sure if stainless would be a good idea, with regard to the tendency for the threads to gall.

For those that know, does stainless gall only when two stainless bits are threaded together? Or will stainless threads still gall with dissimilar metals?

Stainless galls depending on the alloy. 300 series fasteners will gall at the first thread if you do not properly lube them with Tefgel or similar. 400-series or 18-8..the typical "hardware grade" non-marine-use SS hardware really isn't worse than the usual steel hardware.

Those black fender nuts with the Toms stainless bolts are great and will never rust and seize like the original.

I use them on all my builds.

Thank all, appreciate the help!

The black oxide coating is terrible on those fender clips. Rusts so fast.

I pulled all mine off and had a batch yellow zinc coated. Still looking great 2 years later.

Zinc will eventually oxidize and then rust, but I don’t drive the bronco in the winter, so I have a while before that happens.
