I’m looking for the plastic bushing, for lack of a better term, that a trim screw would thread into to secure headlight bezels to my 1967 Dart as pictured below. I suspect that the same part was used on 68 & 69 models.

In the photo below, one of the factory bushings is install in upper right of headlight. Lower right bushing is missing leaving a small square hole where one would be inserted.

Previous owner had drilled sheet metal adjacent to bushing to receive a sheet metal screw. This method of attachment is not working out to well, as these holes are getting too large to hold a screw securely.

Little things like that are a bear to find. You have to match the screw hole size and the square hole size. Most body shops have a junk box full of things like that and can sort through and find something that will work. I'll try to find mine - it's been packed up for a while. If you can get a measurement of the square hole it would help. You might also find something like that in the "HELP" rack at NAPA but I assume you've already tried that.
