How to re-attach wood trim piece?

Post by tonyfromjersey »

During some post paint shop maintenance, I took apart the lower console to replace the heater control cover (thanks Matt) and the shift boot. Sometime during this process, the clips to attach the wood trim piece that the shift boot attaches to back to the lower console were lost, broken, or consumed by the dog. There are 2 posts on this wood piece, and two holes on the lower console. What or where can I find some hardware to put this thingy back to that thingy?

I've tried a couple of assorted things I found at Auto Zone, but nothing seems to be quite it.

I seem to remember getting a good replacement piece from Lowes. In those drawers for parts in the hardware dept.
