Corrosion of Bedside Reinforcement Bracket Cap Screws

Hi all,

Realized after a rainstorm that the provided bolt that secures the bracket to the bed-side is not Stainless Steel.

Does anyone know the bolt size so I may replace it with a stainless part?

Thanks!

 

Are you referring to the bracket that attached to the factory location and reinforces the bedside when installing a High Clearance rear bumper?

If yes, its a 1/4"-20 x 1.0" cap screw. The hardware provided is a zinc plated button head cap screw and zinc plated nylock nut. You should not have corrosion problems with those pieces of hardware.

 

I am. See below for pictures of the rusted bolts.


No big deal, can get a set of stainless from a local store, just wanted to give a head's up for anyone who may have installed them and immediately installed their fender flares (and cannot see the corrosion).
