I just used a small 8mm self taping screw. that way if I ever remove the skid plate, there is just 3 teeny tiny holes that are not seen by the eye. and could be filled in with black caulking, if for some reason needed to be.
Yes I know the stock setup used to come with well nuts and fine thread metric bolts, which you can use and get at your local Home Repo but you're right, you have to drill much bigger holes



I have to go to the Repo anyway to find some new stainless license plate screws (damn rust) so I'll look for some allen self tappers while i'm there.
