Getting ready to put some Euro bumpers on but don't have all the body nuts that ensures correct spacing between the fender and quarter panels. Since part 51111900386 is NLA, I'm wondering if anyone has any creative ideas on how to jerry rig a similar body nut using other parts. Or if any one has this part available, let me know. I need 2-3.
Thanks

i guess you could use a regular nut of that type and bond some delrin or rubber material to the correct thickness to it?

That is what I do with mine....works perfectly, a metal body nut + a 4 mm black rubber.....

I took some other body nuts from my old bumper and then sculpted flexible spacers out of plastic epoxy. Seems to do the trick and I don't have to pay $55 for an annoying part.
