Reading all these problems with the mounting hardware is making me
wonder am I the only person who hasn't had problems with the
hardware. I bought mine open bag at the first bus depot campout, I
dug around the bottom of the box and the friend I was with pointed
out the hardware I needed. I put then on the following weekend and
haven't had a problem since. It maybe that I don't do any real winter
driving.

 From what I've read, it looks like I did the right thing by buying
mine from Bus Depot's sale a few weeks ago, mine were missing the
hardware. I also used stainless steel screws, but once they were
mounted I took them back off and painted the holes I drilled then
reinstalled the mud flaps with a gob of black sealant around each
hole, in hopes of keeping out any moisture and preventing any rust
from starting.    Jeff
