foothilltom 33 Report post Posted March 16, 2008 Hi guys, am finally putting my fiberglass-frankenstein back together and am encountering a number of "which fastener goes here" issues. This will probably be one of many posts, if you don't mind. SHINY CHROME GRILL PANEL ATTACHMENT I can see the panel attaches with several small stainless screws along the back edge, but I don't know what fastens the left-most and right-most rear mounting points that overlap the light bucket chrome-like panel. I believe the entire front edge is fastened with those trim bolts, but the rear corners have me stumped. Hopefully, these photos will reveal what I'm saying. The rear-right hole is the mystery. There's no "clip" attached below to accept a larger fender-like bolt, so i'm suspecting that it requires some kind of very large sheet metal screw or a nut/bolt combo. Confused and help is appreciated. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Armond 10 Report post Posted March 17, 2008 Here is a picture of what they did use. The one on the left is the correct small bolt and nut. They used a stud from a molding clip or at least one identical. The one on the right is a typical clip with a stud. Simply take the stud out of an extra clip, making sure it is a long one and use it. I thought I had a picture of one in place on my computer but I could not find it. Hope this helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted March 18, 2008 IIRC, i used a stainless machine screw type bolt with a stainless nut on the backside in that location or it was stainless sheet metal screw with a speed nut big enough to work on the backside in that location Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
