Re: euro bumper bolts

["Randy B" <sirocco@telocity.com>]

Justin,
My advice is to take the mount off the bumper and either
1. Take the mount to a fastener store or hardware store and go through their
"metric" bins until you find a bolt that works (highest grade of course)
2. Take the mount with you to a wrecking yard and start removing engine
bolts from VW's until you find ones that will work

Yeah, yeah...........go ahead and laugh at #2 but I've been scavaging little
stuff like this for years which is why I have such a large selection of
nuts/bolts/other bizarre VW fasteners :^)
Trust me it comes in handy quite often.

HTH
