Low Profile Fender to Wheel Well Bolts (Button Head Fasteners)
Where are you guys finding the low profile button head fender to wheel well bolts... I can't even find them in a google image search. I did a search through McMaster as well and couldn't find anything with the self aligning tapered tip. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Not quite sure it matters, but this for 2nd Gen F-body. I'm trying to reduce any possible tire rub under hard compression... and they just look better, hah.

Not sure about the fasteners Chad,,,, bud the best way is to modify the lousy factory design in that area.... I reworked all my cars to create clearance as the traditional rub is still really tough on the fender/door/cowl alignment in stock layout..

I doubt you will find a button head screw with the tapered point. You will have to bite the bullit and use a regular button head. That's how I went on my truck and how I will be doing it on the van. McMaster Carr is probably the best source for price and delivery. Get the 18-8 stainless...

You don't need a tapered tip. I just used 5/16 SS button head allen screws from Mcmaster-Carr.
