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 ?

I can make some but would need a drawing or example.

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?

The studs i found are very close to originals but i think i found the exact size so stay tuned.

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?
