Here's my problem,
I'm at work and don't have access to my car right now.
I need to know the length of bolts used in the mudflap brackets.

I've been told the thread is a 6 MM but I need to know the length of bolt.

Can anybody help?

Luckily, I have the mudflap and the three brackets are still bolted to the mudflap. When the brackets separated from the fiberglass fender, they did not crack or take any fiberglass with them. There is still some bonding glue on the fender where the brackets were glued on that I will need to remove and clean up before gluing the brackets back on the fender.

Thanks!

Dave, all 3 of my brackets came off the fiberglass fender. Any recommnedations on an epoxy or bonding glue I should use? I was told there any many types out there and you have to use the correct for the materials you are trying to bond together. I believe the type of fiberglass used to make the fender is SMC fiberglass.
