Check fitment for your specific vehicle (model, year, engine) before ordering.
What This Product Does
The stud provides a threaded fixing at the connection between the over-rider tube and bumper guard. It is replacement fastening hardware, rather than a complete guard or tube assembly.
Functions
- Provides the threaded attachment for the over-rider tube.
- Replaces a missing or damaged stud during bumper repairs or restoration.
Technical Details
- Material: grade 303 stainless steel.
- Fastener type: stud bolt.
- Installation location: inside the chromed bumper guard, at the over-rider tube connection.
- Sold individually.
Symptoms of Fault
- Corrosion affecting the existing fastener.
- Threads that have seized or become stripped.
- Absent or damaged hardware preventing the tube from fastening securely.
Why Replacement Matters
Renewing an unserviceable stud restores the fixing needed when reassembling the over-rider tube and guard. Inspect the mating threads and surrounding attachment points as well, since replacing the bolt alone will not correct damage elsewhere in the connection.
