My bolts are in pretty bad shape, looks like they have been cut down from unoriginal longer bolts. Some aren't fitting, even with the bumper off.
 I am going to lightly tap the nuts and wanto get replacement bolts/rubber biscuit spacers. Are the 8.8 class m8 x 40mm bolts from the hardware store good enough for temporary use while I order the correct 10.9 class ones? the ones inside it now are 9.8. example of correct OEM: https://www.justkampers.com/n0103404-m8-x-4...rious-uses.html Temporary option: https://www.homedepot.ca/product/paulin-m8-...ated/1000135048 |

Some people use threaded studs to make hanging the bumper easier.

QUOTE(mepstein @ Sep 20 2021, 07:28 PM)  Some people use threaded studs to make hanging the bumper easier. But then they miss out on the fun of single-handed supporting a bumper in place while trying to get a bolt on each side started. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) |
