    Default Fasteners for front bumper

    Does anyone know what fasteners, if any, are meant to go in these holes? Previous owner was admittedly "not a body guy," so a lot of fasteners were missing from the car, sheet metal screws were used in a lot of places, and these holes were just left vacant. Front clip seems to sit a little funny, and I feel like properly securing it would help me get the front end looking cleaner.

    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure of the size but I think large flange pop rivets go there.

    The original Ford rivets were black anodized and had rings on the head. Most are smooth top these days.

    Fyi, there are also kits that only have the rivets, if that is all you need.

    They do not include the hex nuts, u-nuts and bolts that are included in that complete kit.
