Thanks Dub, I feel much the same. But I am striking out finding what I really want. This is what Isuzu used on our inserts, but you know they didn't make the insert, someone supplied them, if only I knew who, and of course it would be in Japan, not here.




Tacoma Screw (pretty big outfit) buyers had spec, drawings, and photographs for over 3 weeks and stuck out. Went to a local Wesco auto body store, and the only thing they could offer was a T-bolt in 10/24 for molding.

Workmeistr, Fastenal has the best T-bolt I have seen in their catalog, but again was a 10/24. http://www.fastenal.com/web/products...ex?sku=0162686 I did email them the spec and drawings, will see what happens. With using 12 per insert, the order I would be placing would be in the hundreds, (well, I hope I will need that many.)

Was hoping amongst us, there might of been a structural engineer that might say if attached properly, these would be fine.

Bottom line, no fastner, no faux carbon fiber hood insert
