Js fender/quarter braces

[Wazer]

I feel this may be in the wrong section, sorry if so! (

when I fitted them a few months back, one bolt sheared - however it's a flexible T shaped bolt (pictures to follow). I've been looking for months for one of these with zero luck, or anything similar!

I cant explain for sh"$, so I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Any help is much appreciated,
Thanks!

What size is the bolt? Maybe try to fabricate it? I would certainly give that a go, all you will need is a drill, a file/angle grinder, vice and a riveting gun. Just measure the thickness of the bolt and the thread pitch (there are guides online how to do that, just Google it...), order a few long bolts or studs of the correct size and pitch, file it down to mimic the shape of the bolt you are trying to replicate, once done drill a hole for that little swinging bit and rivet it in place. You can put some paper in between the rivet and the bolt when you rivet it on, this once removed will create the necessary slack for the bit to swing around as with the original.

Same happened me, looked everywere for them bolts... Ended up using 2 long bolts that go from inside of engine bay out onto the braces if you know what i mean?

Ive looked everywhere with no luck :-(. The holes dont go through to the engine bay.

May just have to try make one.
