tricked919 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 I picked up my new stamped metal plate yesterday and I asked the parts guy where the hardware was. He said "there is no hardware - use the screws from the plastic one". I don't buy it - those are for countersinks - is this legit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 There are different screws for the new plate. Here's what I just recently got. Plate - 11831AA210 (1PC) Bolts - 800406140 (5PCS) Bolt - 800406150 (1PC) The one separate bolt has thread locking compound on it. Not sure where that one is supposed to specifically go.

Fairtax4me Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 No, you can't use the countersunk screws from the plastic plate. The new plates should come as a "kit". The screws are separate, but they should show up with the parts listing as being required. There are 5 of one type and one oddball that uses the same thread and driver, but it's a different alloy, and has to go in the upper left corner by the arrow for some reason. Hardware PN: 800406140 x5 800406150 x1 http://www.subarupartsforyou.com/cp_partdetail.php?partid=11566 You beat me to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Actually I just did one last night and I'm buying a bag full of bolts next time I'm at the hardware store. The bolts for the new metal plates are just regular metric threaded machine screws. I think 6x1.00 mm maybe? Just take one of the old ones to any hardware store and get a regular machine screw - that's all they are, they're not special like the old school tapered fit bolts. And the one screw that's a different part number is the same screw with red locktite on it. Although it's not a structural part, the tapered bolts would probably hold it!?

GeneralDisorder Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 You need to use loctite on the new bolts as some of them have the threads in the block open (they are not blind holes). Just use 242 (or 248 stick) on each of them. That parts guy is an idiot. But you do have to order them seperately. A good dealership will stock a plate and screw set at all times - mine does.
