Thanks Bruno.
I don't think I have the studs from the bottom though. Car is not here. I will check when the G/F comes home. :D |
No, you won't have studs... mine just has dimples where you are supposed to drill, but apparently loudsubz' car had pre-drilled holes only covered up by little rubber grommets. While you are at it, go to a factory industrial supply place, and order stainless steel fastners in the 8mm variety.

ya i think u will need to drill in the holes ur self cuz when i got mine apperently honda drilled them in for me but then again mine came with the car
|
M8 or M10 will do you fine.
4 x Bolts (20 mm) 4 x Nuts 8 x Washer Use Stainless Steel if you can |
Exactly what JSK listed. That's what I used on mine.
|
Thanks guys.
Is the hardware availabe at Brafasco?? Where did you get yours?? |
I just went to CT and bought a pack of nut/bolts that were the right diamater, I think 3/8" bolt, bought some washer and I was set, no need to go all out with metric or buy the OEM stuff. its just a bolt.
|
I just picked up some fine threaded nuts and bolts from Home Depot that were M8 or stronger.
|
How do I get the bolts though the holes?
|
Yes, like the boys said you'll have rubber caps that you just pop off and you'll already have holed pre-drilled for the bar!
Bolts? Just reach though the fender well wayyyyyy up and you can put the bolts though the inside of the fender and up to the bar w/ a nut onto. If your car's dumped (2.0"+) you might not be able to get your arm inbetween the top of the tire and into the fender well, so you might have to jack up the car a bit. |
I'm offering my help if you need it Aaron. Just PM me.
|
give me a call I'll give ya a hand :D
|
Thanks guys.
I will prolly be doing it sometime this weekend. I will zap you if I run into any biggies. Thanks.. :cry: |
