Default Air dam question

Does any one know what size the screws/bolts hold the left or right side air dams on and is there a built in nut or something. I know I could remove one of the others but I know someone here will know exactly what size I need and what I am talking about. Thanks in advance for the help

I reused the bolts that were already installed. If yours are still there, use them. The receiver area is self nutted. (Ouch! That sounds weird and quite painful!) Buy the metal reinforcements to stiffen the new air dams.

Regards,

Gunny John

Thank you I will give that a go...the nut thing is what I wasn't sure about and being an old guy lying on the floor upside down with little work space isn't fun. Thanks again

Not sure what the threads are, But the heads are 7mm and they screw into U-Nuts. I have replaced mine 3 times, Just last week I took them off and am running without them.

Tell me about it!!! I'm 68 and my knees are non-existant. Thank the lord I've got a small cherry picker. (For me, not the car.)

Good luck,

Guns
