Scott. I'm going to assume that you are placing a new fold down luggage
rack onto the car. Supplied by Moss Motors. Attaches to the clamps on
the tire carrier. Yes, the threaded holes in the clamps are 5/16"-22 BSF
threads. You should purchase two (2) of 320-392, 5/16"-22 by 1 1/2" long
chrome bolts for the installation. These should come with the kit, but
they don't. If you have reproduction bumper overriders, the chrome will
be contacted by the arms of the rack. Loosen, and try to move to the
outward portion of the rear bumper. The two brackets go between the rear
apron and the rear bumper brackets. You probably didn't get the
instruction sheet with the kit.
