Looks like one of the nuts from a front bumper bracket...

Make one or have one made. All it takes is a nut and a suitable piece of flat stock. Five seconds with a welder..

I thought about that option but I don’t have a welder and never welded before. I also don’t know anyone with a welder.

A local parts store should have, or be able to get what you need.

They go by other names but the only one that comes to mind right now is "flag nut"


I ALWAYS use a good bit of anti-seize on the bolt when I have to use that style of nut, so if I have to remove it in the future, it comes off easily. They can be a nightmare when they rust in place.

That’s a lot of help. I didn’t know what to search for but using the description “flag nut” seems to result in similar items. Thanks!
