Hi Team, I need a little help. I bought a KDM style rear spoiler the other day and it doesn't come with a mounting kit.

Essentially it will fit the same as the OEM Hyundai unit with bolts and double sided tape.

The question I have, I want to fit the spoiler utilising the same sort of bolts as the OEM, but I don't know what the toggle nuts look like. I had a look at Dazzlers Youtube video, which has helped a bit, but I still an not sure what the toggle nut looks like.

Can ANYONE assist?? (A photo would be a start)

Hi m8 from memory it was a gravity toggle nut a bit like this with a flange at the top bigger than the hole...

Yep, Dazz is right, that is what they use, use a bit of primer on the the hole, although in my kit they supplied Dialectric grease.

I should have been more patient with my Google search... Sorry guys

I found what I was after and they are called "Jack Nuts".

These little gems are great to use. Drill a hole, insert the Jack nut, insert the bolt and then tighten up. Take out the bolt, fix whatever you want and torque up.

I've used them before, but couldn't remember there name.

Yeah, a jack nut should do the job the picture I posted wasn't exactly the type supplied it was shorter and wasn't threaded at the top.. But sounds like you got the idea  :goodjob:
