Belly pan fasteners?

Post by **Allgonquin** » 14 Dec 2024, 16:46

I just bought a 2012 XC70, and we are putting my 2004 XC70 with 290K miles out to pasture. The 2012 came without a belly pan. I've since acquired an aftermarket belly pan (hopefully it fits well) but I'm wondering what the stock fasteners are? Looking at the underneath, I can see some holes with what appears to be red plastic in them, with holes in the red plastic. I'm not sure if those are the intended fastener holes.... if so I would think a coarse thread (like a wood screw type thread, but obviously not a wood screw!) fastener would be used, as distinct from an M6 x 10 or similar machine screw. Any info on this would be really appreciated. I didn't spend a lot of time looking but in my brief inspection I did not seems to see any threaded holes, but maybe I missed them. Tia!

Hello Allgonquin. I'd play around with the search term in this to get a diagram, then from the diagram you can get your fastener part number(s). T6? If not, adjust that. Belly pan and splash guard I'm not having luck with.

Thanks Matthew, It took a while, but I did find them at that site. They are listed as "six point socket screws" at $2.87 each without much detail. It does appear that they do have a screw thread rather than a "machine" screw thread. And for the record, the belly pan is called a "radiator support splash guard". I think I'll see if I can concoct something at my local hardware store first, but at least I know they can be ordered. Thanks again.
