Bolt Sizes for Foglamp Brackets
Under the front bumper each side of the license plate (up on the back side)there are what appear to be 2 of the "pal nut" type captive nuts. I asumed these were where the fog light brackets were mounted, but can't see to tell what size/type they are. They are NOT 8MM, 10MM, 1/4-20 or 1/4-28. The 10 MM came closest to fitting, but tightened up after about 4 turns. Perhaps they are the sheet metal thread type about #10 or so? Anyone know for sure? Don't want to try tightening one of them down unless I know for sure.
2005 F250 XL.

Hello? Someone must know ..........I took a flashlight and mirror to the above - they are the U shaped "pal" or sheet metal U shaped clips, with a fine thread (machine) in them. Still trying to determine what size ....

Okay, On mine an 8mm wrench fit perfectly and the thread count was 28/inch and had approx. 4 threads extruding through the back of the tab when tightened. It looks like it has 8.6 stamped on top of the bolt head. Hope this helps.
