Undertray Screws/Bolts

Post by Mherby »

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, I've had a search but can't find it. Feel free to point me in the right direction if my search skills have failed me! :)

I'm trying to find the size/pitch etc of the bolts/screws that hold the undertray on along the front edge of the bumper, the ones I've taken off have almost rusted through. (You may wonder why I don't just look myself, but the car is in Ipswich and I'm in Oswestry and I didn't think to check at the time..)

Ideally I'd like to replace them, but want to find the right thing first. If anyone can let me know, thanks in advance. :thumleft:

I used #10 Gauge self tappers.
About 10mm thread length.

I have fancy ones with an 8mm hex (no round off with screwdriver) with built in washers that are harder for the worn plastic holes to pull themselves through.
