After searching the forum and finding a long ago thread.... seems these nuts are only available at the MotherShip.
Anyone find the Fender Skirt Nuts anywhere else? I would like to replace all four of them since the plastic is getting brittle and it seems the bolt is trying to pop thru.
Thanks!!

The Motherships isn't a bad place to buy parts, usually the prices are fair.
These are similar to the stock knobs.

Thanks Larry!
I put these Amazon knobs on my wishlist for future reference -
Also thinking of ordering a new Shower Dome cover from the Mother Ship so if that happens soon might get the knobs from them too and bypass the Amazon order.
Thanks again!

Be advised that if you order the knobs from the factory they, in all likelihood, will NOT be painted to match your rig... been there, done that!
As an aside here's something I did with mine. I went to a hardware store and acquired some large nylon washers to go between the base of the knob and the side of the fender skirt so as not to mar the paint on the latter. As I recall I had to enlarge the hole a bit to allow the bolt to pass through. ;D

Thanks for this info, Larry. I need a knob and will order a package and spray one knob with the can of LD touch up paint I've had for years.

If you check the manufacturer's site for such items, they may also have cover plugs for the knobs.

I lost one OEM painted knob years ago; when I ordered replacements from the factory, all they had was black. The black knobs look fine, and they don't chip or peel. I would use them as they are and not try to paint them.
YMMV, of course.

Makes sense, Joan.

When I lost one, I ordered a set of 4 from the Mothership for insurance.
It worked, never lost another one.
