Whats the proper bolt setup for fiberglass bumpers?

What is the proper bolt setup for the fiberglass bumpers?  It has the type of brackets pictured.  I can get a bolt and washer through but there is no way to fit a wrench or socket to hold it from spinning while tightening it to the mount.

Me thinks the "carriage bolt" is the correct animal to use in this case.

 

Choose one with its "square shoulder under the smooth head" sized to fit into that slot. This prevents it from turning as you tighten the nut behind the bracket on the car that should be accessible. Only trick might be getting the carriage bolt into place in that bracket and holding it there whilst you hang the bumper and get the nut/washer started. Duct tape comes to mind for that.

 

I think most generic chrome bumper bolts are of this construction to fit into a corresponding square hole in a bumper.
