I ordered a flat chrome lower cover for my 1990 FLSTF, went with Joker Machine 931101-1C. Showed up today, looks pretty well made. I've always been happy enough with Joker's stuff.

Problem - despite being advertised as containing "all necessary hardware", the panel comes with a single button head bolt to secure it at the bottom. I don't know about later models, but my 1990 (which is listed in the fitment, btw) has a very simple little bracket that takes a push type fastener at that location.

There are some obvious solutions. I suppose I could tap a little piece of flat stock and make a rectangular nut that would bind in there, but frankly, for almost $100 I don't feel like I should have to monkey with it. Also it's already Friday afternoon and I'm pissy. Perhaps I'm manstruating.

Anyway, anyone familiar with an adapter or standard solution here? female threaded push insert, something similar? No luck via google. You'd think it'd be a common $2 solution, given the number of custom lower dashes running around.

 

My '95 has the female threaded push insert.

 

Huh. Well I'll probably just put a clip nut in there instead if chasing that down. Annoying tho.
