Not really sure the best place to start this thread, but I'd appreciate a thread where people can post (amazon) links to common fasteners and maybe a quick review. Probably a good idea to id location for better visibility.
I'll start:
>> Engine Cowl, fender liner, undercarriage, W712196-S300 (W714040-S300?):
These are iffy, some are tight some aren't, use with caution. Definitely more success using them with the undercarriage. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D6KRWLL/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
>> Engine cowl, W716510-S300:
Had good luck with these, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09SBG6H7J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
>> Undershield, radiator air deflector, W715060-S450B & W704277-S439
Just ordered, someone comment and I'll update once I run into trouble and need help here again, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BJ8Z2458/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

BONUS ROUND:
If someone can revive this, https://www.explorerst.org/threads/need-help-locating-this-part.1791/#post-55758

Great idea.

Years ago I bought three different kits of automotive fasteners on Amazon. Just browsed for a while and got 3 separate kits of like 100-200 fasteners. Over the years I have used about 25 various fasteners on 5 or 6 different cars. I used some for the door panel clips in my st.

@Cruising68 yea I see the universal types online and personally don't care so long as the head size is the same/ uses the same tool. But especially with the plastic fasteners or integrated washers, it's nice to read reviews from other Ford owners.
