Default 81 Air dam fasteners


What kind of screws are used to attach the air dam and the rubber
pieces?

Also, anyone have the bracket pictures for holding the air dam up? Many
of the links from old threads are now out of date...

As for the bracket, I made my own. works good, and if I bump a driveway, I can just re-bend it right back.

There are Nuts & Bolts holding up the Rubber Air Dam through the Metal Brackets.
There is a kit available from Ecklers.. They have a Spoiler Attaching Hardware kit for $8.99 .Has all the nuts and bolts.

Thanks guys...

Dawg, your bracket looks like this one! from 84-90 C4's.

I didn't realize that the spoiler rubber was held on by these
nylon fasteners:

I was wondering about the screw sizes if anyone knew offhand.
Thanks.
