I removed the forward underbody panel to change the front diff oil on my C4S and the studs that partly secure the panel have turned to dust.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

So I solved the problem the old fashioned way - I just picked up the phone and rang 9M - and they have the part (there isn't a part number) and they are sending me 20 for a whopping £1 each.
Hi,
I removed the forward underbody panel to change the front diff oil on my C4S and the studs that partly secure the panel have turned to dust. I have looked at the various solutions on here and I also found the Rennlist thread where the GT3 had its unerbody restored by 9M including new studs and new studs would be my preferred option. Does anyone have a part number? I emailed 9M a few weeks back but I didn't get a reply.
Thanks
Hi HSC,
Thanks for the response and help, but as Paynewright notes, it is the one part that is not shown in that diagram as it is welded to the body. The plastic nut that is number 2 in the diagram attaches to the metal stud I am looking for.
It is shown in post #3 of this

Thanks both.
There was a recent post here, sorry not sure which. IIRC it suggested options including gluing (JB weld) and welding on studs, it may have also considered drilling and putting in a stud. The thread was taking about underbody corrosion - probably on one of the restoration logs.
Have you asked your local OPC or Indy?

They come with a base so need to be spot welded, but in the short term I may just grind back and glue using appropriate metal glue - if airbus can glue an A320 together, I think I'll be ok...
@Maldren - thanks. I had seen the threads you are referring to, but I wanted to keep the original look.
Thanks all :thumbs:

Hi, do you know what the thread size/pitch is? Mine are a little worse for wear but still attached. Spent far too long trying to get a panel back on Monday. Wanted to clean up the threads.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
