Plastic Engine Cover Mount
I broke the plastic engine cover mount the other day.
Did it while trying to climb up on the front bumper to drain fuel filter.
Bumper was slippery with ice and I fell off, grabbed the engine cover on the way down and broke the mount.
I heard the later model trucks had a metal mount instead of plastic.
Is it a direct fit?
Will it fit on my E99 F350?

In all seriousness...I would leave it off and just place it on there if you're ever doing a "Show and Shine." If you're stuck on the side of the road and needing to get to your filter, now you gotta mess with taking it off.

I agree... I don't mind it off. Makes the truck look less like a toy but it is nice for adding some bling if you highlight the raised lettering with a color.

After breaking 2 of the plastic brackets I just
made my own from a scrap sheet of copper.
It ain't pretty but you can't see it with the cover on.

Did you not see my thread "My Shiny New Nuts With Pics".
I have contemplated just getting some new nuts, but I like the look of the OEM nuts, and the wife really likes my old nuts too.
