Recently someone asked about how the front left side mudflap attaches to the body, specifically the inserts that go into the body holes. Had a look around town yesterday to find replacements for the stock plastic inserts and found what I thought were good matches. But when I got them to the van I found that they were too big for the hole. In frustration I tried what was suggested earlier, rubber grommets. Size: 1/8" wire, 1/4 chassis (ie the hole in the grommet is 1/8", the hole that it fits into is 1/4") This size fits tightly into the van and the threaded stud thingy in the mudflap will slip in with a little bit of lube.
