    I bought a nice aluminum holder that threads into the tow hook receiver from Stillen I think. It was made for a Nissan if I remember. Yours looks better though!

    Hi Mark, I apologize for the delay, I have been out of town. The standard McGard bulge seat hex black nut P/N for a pack of 4 nuts is 64029. Gorilla is our best quality Aftermarket competition although they do not pass our corrosion and pull test standards. Derry

    Oil level question after oil change by dealer

    Also while the flashpoint of oil is in the 400-500 degree range, without an open flame the metal would need to be 750+ degrees to be an issue of concern.
