Need part number - splash shield retainer nut/speed nut

Does anybody happen to know the part number for the retainer nuts (aka speed nuts) used on the rock guards/splash shields on the bottom of the car? They clip onto the frame and those small 8mm screws screw into them, but most of mine are stripped out. I've searched the usual part sites but have come up empty-handed. I'm sure I could go to the local AutoZone and grab some universal ones but I'm a bit of a psychopath and would rather have the real deal. Unless of course someone knows of a higher quality part that will work.

The part number for the screw might be a good idea too while we're on the topic.

They look something like this:




Thanks in advance!

Interesting and useful info - and especially timely for me. In the last 3 months, I have had three of these buggers (the screws) actually break off under my car. My wife keeps finding them on the garage floor, broken off at about 1/4 inch length. When I took the car to the dealer for some other service work, I told them that I hold them responsible for these and that they have to replace for me. I had the car for 3 years with no breakage. Then I switched servicing dealers, and the breakage began. No marks on the under-body panels or screws, so I assume that they over-torqued them.

Yeah I'm sure they just zip them on with a cordless impact. I use a small one too, I'm just don't keep my finger on the trigger until it stops spinning They absolutely should replace them, especially given they're the only ones that work on it and they're a dealership to boot.
