Re: Belly pan bolts


 

Jim -

On my '97 it's four M8's up front and two M6's at the back. If you're
going under there yourself, you might consider replacing the M8 hex
head bolts with studs and nuts (stud with either Loc-Tite or a nut
tightened against the frame plus another nut & maybe washer to hold
the pan on). It's easier to get the pan's holes over studs than it is
to find the threaded holes in the frame thru the holes in the pan.

Hello All,

I've a question, Does anyone know what size bolts hold the
belly pan up? I've got a 03EV and I noticed a rattle the other
day, so I crawled under and found bolts missing from the belly pan.
They must have gotten misplaced the last time I got an oil change.

Thank very much,
