where to find fasteners for hide-a-trunk
 

I just recently got a hide a trunk off of ebay. It came with the bolts
that attach the trunk to the tub, but no nuts for the tub.

I called the local dealer, and he couldn't find a part # for me.
Can anybody help me on this one?

thanks, matt

Matt - I got mine at the local hardware store. You know those displays
with al the hardware in plastic drawers? They were in there. They have
a name but it escapes me at the moment. What your looking for is a
little rubber plug that looks like a top hat. At the "top" of the top
hat is a nut. You stick the plug into the hole in the tub, then when
you put the bolt in, it threads through the nut, pulls it back, which
expands the rubber so that it doesn't pull back out of the hole.
Hope that explanation helps. I think I have some extras in the garage
- email me if you need a picture of one. I know I ended up buy a
couple different sizes because I wasn't sure what fit. They were only
a couple cents each.

Anchor? Sort of like an anchor you would use in your wall for a heavy
picture? (obviously not a hard plastic one, just the same style of
operation)

As I wondered what that is, I asked google. Apparently that's another

Thanks for the wellnut suggestion. I'm not the OP, but today I tried
installing the splash guards on my TJ. The fronts are fine and so it
the driver-side rear. (hint: remove the 4 T-30 screws holding the
bumper's endcap, it's much easier to remove the plastic rivet then)

However, on the passenger side the cavity where I am supposed to put
my hand to put the (hex) nut behind the sheet metal is blocked.
Instead of an empty hole to reach through, there is a black (plastic?)
thing in the way. What might that be and is there an easy way to move
it? The location is at the back of the passenger-side rear wheel well
about where the taillight is mounted. I'll check at the hardware
store for a wellnut and also a matching plastic rivet since the rivet
may work as well.

Re: where to find fasteners for hide-a-trunk
 

I certainly would 'not' use those rubber mounts unless you want the
first person that is interested just to walk away with the whole box.
They are not structural fasteners, they are vibration fittings. Good
for mounting glass only, I wouldn't even trust them to mount a radiator
in solid.

You 'can' get the same items in lead or in steel. The steel ones have
slits and expand in a star shape under the metal. The lead ones are
made to expand inside something like a tube or hole in concrete.
