    I removed my front skid plate so I can have FluidFilm sprayed and I'm also going to run a RCI skid. While I was under there, I removed the two small pieces of metal that stick out a tiny bit. Now it looks unfinished. Does anybody make a plate that bolts in to block the hole?

    I think somebody moved those things all the way in flush. I don't remember exactly how, and I have no idea how you would search for the post.

    It looks like I would need to drill another hole. I haven't tried to see how far they would slide in.

    You would have to drill another hole and put a new weld nut in there or cut yours down and reweld it. Other option if you are never going to want to access that again is just weld a small cap plate on.
