chi45cken - the bolts I have are only 1 1/2. So if you have 2"s that would be great. I went on a local quest today and was only able to find 2" with a find thread and no-one had an acorn to match.

The way run them is the button-head is under the fender with an acorn or bungee-cord nut outside (maybe that was obvious).
Nothing is countersunk, the t-nut goes through the fender and the bolt screws in from the outside. You may have to drill the struts to allow the t-nut to slide into it from under the fender. I use a 3/8"x16 thread.

OK - I'm off to lowes to get the stainless t-nut. Did you have to drill the strut? And how does the t-nut not keep spinning?
Thanks - George
