What nuts do you use to reinstall screws?

After you take the plate off the OEM steel bumper for winch to drop in, what nuts do you use to secure torx back in that you removed?

I used the Warn winch plate. It shipped with some nuts to replace the nutserts that are attached to the filler plate. If your winch plate kit didn't supply those, I suppose just grab some nuts that fit from the hardware store.

I am ordering an Artec winch plate since it is one solid piece compared to the Warn but does not seem to include those nuts. Thanks for the input,

@pangmaster Thanks for mentioning the Warn plate coming with them. Found the install instructions on Northridge and it gave the exact size for the nuts I am looking for!

Sure thing Jason! I hope your Jeep comes early. Waiting is the hardest part.

I used snap in plastic plugs, gotta save weight where you can. And I like the look better than bolts that are holding nothing. 3/8" (0.375 inch) Flush Mount Black Plastic Body and Sheet Metal Hole Plug

Interesting. I put the bolts back. I like the look of bolts that appear to be holding something instead of the look of plastic plugs in unused holes.
