Guest ON3GO Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 yeah i know about the welting, just what bolts to use to get them on the body.... mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachb55 Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 i went to napa and bought some bolts. there is no real procedure, i wrote a little one out in the tech section on my site, but its just something you sortof have to just go for... i found that the shorter, rounder ends (shorter from the last bolt hole) went towards the middle of the car, and the long trailing end to the front or to the back depending on location. i just studied pictures and learnt from those, im using the welting as well to make a better connection between fender and flare. -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shauno_ Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 I am actually in the process of installing aluminum anodized blue rivets on my ZG flares. My car is silver though, with blue cage padding, so the blue rivets are just my own color. The colors don't stick out but are a nice accent when up close. right now i just have the basic silver ones that I've painted over. I wouldn't use bolts cuz you need a bigger hole and you have the possibility of it loosening off. And rivets look cool also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 so i could use rivets... awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 but if u uses rivets i need to some how make a dot on the fenders where i the rivets are gonna go cuz i have to cut my stock fenders for my wheels. hmm mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Rivets work, But I'd look into some nice stainless steel Allen head bolt/ nuts! Saw those on a car at MSA last year (2002) and it was Awesome looking! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Nutserts with stainless cap screws would look the best IMO. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ON3GO Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Mike kelly were could i get some for my flares then? mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikelly Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 You should be able to find them in any hardware store or look up http://www.fastenall.com and see where one is in your area... The nutsert and capscrew is the same look and is equally nice looking in either black or stainless, although black rusts! Lowes in my area has a wide array of specialty nuts and bolts in stainless...
