Title: Gravel Guard question
Post by: Dennis Y on January 15, 2024, 05:48:25 PM
For the studs on the gravel guard, are these just bolts threaded thru from the other side then cut and welded? I can see a dimple on the opposite side. I think both of mine are snapped. Thanks

 Yours are twisted off like one of mine and the studs have a flat head to keep from pulling thru.  Anybody know where u can buy them studs or make them as many are twisted off ?

Ed, do you know if the are splined near the flat head to lock them in place and can you just punch them out to remove?

Finnally foundthe exact stud after 5 attemps were wrong as its an odd size and took 6 weeks to locate the correct size and were shipped from across the pond. These studs are pressed in and out and have locking teeth (that u cant seee once installed)  and i bought a quanity as many of these studs are missing or twisted off so i got extras to sell   so how many 69-70 shelby owners are needing them selling in pairs of 2 it takes to fix 1  69 shelby gravel guard?
