Replica R34 Gtr Wing Screws

[theponyremark]

Hey guys,

I tried fitting my replica R34 GTR wing, but the sale did not include the screws. The replica appears to have screw holes on which the previous owner used to attach it to the boot lid.

From my observations, the factory spoiler has 2 threaded studs fixed to the spoiler (2 on each end), effectively held on by four nuts to the threaded studs under the boot lid.

Is there something I can buy off the shelf?

[dori34]

so this is a fibreglass copy GTR wing?

are you talking about mounting the wing to the boot, stands to the wing or adj blade to the wing?

Hey dori34,

Yep it's a fibreglass copy. I'm talking about the wing to the boot.

gwin, I am working On Office Communicator, it says you've been away for 3 days LOL.

Yeah, but what screws and what washers?

[theponyremark]

Okay guys. I think Z in the picture is what I need. Any idea's on what it's called? It would be easier if I could identify what sort of screw it is so I can purchase it.

Double ended thread screw, go to repco or supercheap auto or any other car place, they should have them for no more than $1 each

[gwin]

Why can't you just Q it?

[theponyremark]

Q as in glue it?

[gwin]

as in the screw

That's called a stud. You may need a M6 or M8 (metric) and go to a bolt shop.

[theponyremark]

Thanks for that Sean!

Can I actually remove the stock studs and reuse them

You may be able to, but if they are push cast into the wing (doubt it), or if the hole is brittle the wing mount may be damaged...

If they are screwed in, you can remove by putting 2 nuts onto the stud, tighten the nuts into each other then, undo the first nut you put on with a spanner etc.

This will usually undo the stud.

Good luck!

no you cant use the stock one, go to bunnings and see what bolt fits the nut. try and get one the same length as the stock one.

[theponyremark]

Ahh crud... I'll give bunnings a go on Friday night

[R34 -_-]

They have 5 finger discounts on Fridays, 10 fingers if you go early and get the early bird special.

Alright guys, it appears that standard non-tapping screw with a big washer works fine. I went to a panel beater (Sheen Group in Hoppers Crossing) and asked, he gave me four screws with washers for free. Nice chap that one.
