fender flare repair?


Recommended Posts

I am doing it right now. Grind the stud off, drill it out and replace it with an M5 stainless steel bolt and internal tooth lock washers. The washer will hold the bolt in position. You can weld them in but the metal is very thin. I would also paint them if you can. The zinc coating doesn't really stop the rust. I used 1" long bolts.

Nice idea! I’m going to copy this for my flares when the time comes
