1968-1972 Back Up Lens Screws El Camino (set)
1968-1972 Back Up Lens Screws El Camino (set),is a factory-correct hardware kit designed explicitly to mount the clear reverse lenses into the rear tailgate or tail panel housings. Unlike standard Chevelle models which integrated reverse lights into varying bumper positions, the El Camino layout uses this specific non-threaded shoulder screw to ensure clean, damage-free seating.
Key Product Features
- Shouldered Design Protection: Features the factory-correct .435-inch unthreaded upper neck shoulder layout. This integrated shoulder acts as a physical stop at a predetermined depth, allowing you to torque the hardware securely without over-cinching and cracking the expensive reproduction plastic backup lens panels.
- Premium Construction: Replicated directly from original General Motors technical specifications using high-grade stainless steel finished with a mirror-like chrome plating for supreme corrosion resistance.
- Kit Counts: Arrives as a 4-piece hardware set, providing two dedicated screws per side to fully overhaul both the driver-side (LH) and passenger-side (RH) backup assemblies.
- Cross-Model Compatibility: This exact hardware kit interchanges perfectly with 1971–1972 GMC Sprint utilities and 1969–1972 Chevelle Station Wagons which utilize the same clearance depth configurations.
Installation Tip
Always start threading your reverse lens hardware completely by hand with a manual Phillips-head screwdriver rather than an electric drill. The underlying metal tailgate tracking or inner bumper cavities are notoriously prone to stripping when exposed to high-torque power tools.
