(No factory holes on pinch weld on some trims)
STEP 3
Determine the correct procedure to attach (1) Driver Front
Mounting Bracket for your model/year:
Models without factory threaded inserts in body panel:
a. Partially thread (1) M8X1.25-30mm Hex Bolt into the threaded end of (1) M8 Bolt/Nut Plate, (Fig 2). Thread the hex bolt in until it is flush with the welded nut, (Fig 3). Use the M8 hex bolt as a handle and insert the Bolt/Nut Plate into the oval hole, (Fig 4). Feed the threaded bolt of the Bolt/Nut plate through one of the hex shaped factory holes. Thread (1) M8 Plastic Washer onto the threaded end and down tight against the body panel, (Fig 5). Then remove the M8 Hex Bolt.
NOTE: The Plastic washer is designed to keep the Bolt/Nut Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in bracket installation.

(Fig 2) M8 Bolt/Nut Plate (NOTE: M8 Bolt/Nut Plate is not required on models with threaded inserts on body panel)

(Fig 3) Thread (1) M8X1.25-30mm Hex Bolt into the nut on the plate till the bolt flushes with the nut as shown)

(Fig 4) Use the Hex Bolt as a handle. Insert the Bolt/Nut Plate into the oval hole and feed the threaded end out from either factory hex shaped hole.

(Fig 5) Thread Plastic Washer onto the bolt to hold the Bolt/Nut Plate in position
