front splitter bolt size for m12 gto 3r?

[PLUMBER21]

Im hopeing somebody can help me out. Ive just purchased a new front splitter for my noble but it didnt include the bolts to attach it to the car. The previous splitter was removed by last owner so im at a loss!Also could anybody tell me where i can purchase some new interior door handles as they have broken! Any info greatly recieved

i'm pretty sure i used M6 cap head bolts ........

Interior door handles are from a metro i do believe

Thanks for a speedy responce guys. New splitter should be here mid wk so will give the m6 bolts a go . As regards to the handles does anybody know where to order a pair from?

You'll need a few locknuts and some washers to go with the bolts and I'd suggest some loctite for those that bite into the steel section in the middle as even nipping up very tight, they still seem to disappear over time. Mist be the vibration of wind hitting it at speed as a guess??

Ive heard that mentioned by a few people on this forum so sounds like good advise! Im going to attempt fitting myself as doesnt look too difficult. As for the inside door handles im still struggling to locate a pair

[bzguy]

make sure you use stainless steel bolts, cost a bit more but don't rust

[PLUMBER21]

Stainless bolts it is. May also put abit of copper grease on them also. The underside of clam is very tidy so should all go smoothly

Just checked out the metro handles cheers. They look diffrent to the ones fitted to the inside of my car? They are squarer with a plastic handle? Maybe its me being stupid!

For your splitter, try to find some oversize fender washers, to spread out the load on the fiberglass. They'll help keep the bolt heads/nuts from ripping through the fiberglass at high speeds...
