ZSPEC Clip-Replacement Fastener Solution, M3 x 20mm w/ Well Nut, Per Each
Many manufacturer's have implemented an increasing amount of plastic "paneling" over areas of a vehicle's engine-bay and the clips often break or get marred-up when being removed. These clips, while not overly expensive in some cases are an ongoing headache and never look "good".
ZSPEC has developed clip-replacement solutions leveraging our famous titanium hardware coupled with Well Nuts. This solution is our "M3" based fastener and well nut hardware - VERIFY the hole-size before ordering, we offer other sizes as well (M4 & M5).
Ideally, these fit / work well when the clip "hole" is ~3-3.5mm in size. If this doesn't mesh with your application, please look at our M4 or M5 offerings.
Installation instructions are straight-forward:
1) Remove OE plastic clips and push ZSPEC Well Nuts into Clip Holes on body of vehicle (under plastic panels).
2) Position panel back in place and hand-start each titanium fastener with the included washer.
3) Tighten the fasteners and enjoy. Note, each fastener needs "snugged" in place...the back-side of each well nut will "bulge" holding the panel in place.
