Models without factory threaded inserts in body panel: 

a. 

Partially thread an 8mm Hex Bolt into the threaded end of an 8mm Bolt and Nut Plate, 

(Figure 2)

. Thread the Hex Bolt

the oval hole, 

(Figure 4)

. Feed the threaded bolt on the Bolt Plate out through one of the hex shaped factory holes. 

Thread (1) 8mm Plastic Retainer onto the threaded end and down tight against the body panel, 

(Figure 5)

NOTE

: The 

Retainer is designed to keep the Bolt/Nut Plate from falling into the body panel and to aid in Bracket installation.
