Front end fasteners to keep gaps tight
I've seen those mounting bits you put on the front end clip at the corners to keep them tight and, I think, for quicker service. But all I'm finding is the ones that use an o-ring and two pins.
What are they called? |

there was a group buy for some sort of aftermarket performance brand of them. somewhere i want to say early 2014.
i have a set of those. they're keeping the dust from collecting too thickly on a shelf. somewhere to the south-west in my basement. the package looked nice.

I used these. They are not great at keeping the bumper gap tight but they help some. I just have them for how often I have had my bumper on/off. The tabs on my front bumper are smoked so this is mostly what is keeping it on at the corners.

I have jeep parts like that, most the FRS parts have been installed already. MTEC trans springs about it right now. A shelf of jeep parts. Found something on Amazon, I'll give em a try. I only ordered four. Do you really need two per side? I was looking at them to help with the gap. And I've had the front off enough with the SC kit and changing a headlight these looked like a good idea. Looks like I'll put a nut and bolt in that corner I see others writing about to keep that gap clean. This click together stuff is frustrating and just wears out to fast. |

I'd recommend two per side.

Well, I lucked out, I did buy 4 so I do have 2 per side. Haven't installed yet, been kid's basketball season. But it just finished about to pass so I can get back to it and work just gave more wiggle room.
Thanks for the input. |
