Disassembled my center brake light assembly to replace a bulb and the receiving nuts that hold the bolts in place disintegrated due to age (97 boxster)

Anyone have any ideas for me so I can drive my car while the nuts are coming in on special order?

I guess I've just learned my first lesson about owning a 7 year old Porsche. If you take it apart to repair it, get ready to halt the job and wait two weeks for parts you will discover you need!

Does anyone see why I couldn't find a pair of matching nuts and bolts and just use them instead?
