While installing sound deadning in my truck i managed to loose one of those oddly shaped nuts that holds the front seats down. Does anyone know a part number so i can get a replacement?

According to SEARCH:

the front nut can be taken off with a 12 point 19/32 socket and the rear bolt can be taken out with a 12 point 11mm socket

Thank you, that helps me find a replacement.

Uhh yes we know it can be taken off....... and lost. There is our quandary... After we loose them we need the replacement # to order them.

:o:

I lost 2 of mine too doing the same thing... Cant stand the squeaky seats. Would be nice to get that part #

The smaller is M8x1.25.

How many sq/ft did you use on your truck??? You'll notice a huge difference in the summer, it really keeps heat transference to a minimum, even in Houston my truck never gets hot in the summer time, and the a/c barely runs.

I probably used about 60 ft^2 to do the rear wall, rear pillar, B pillar and floor.

Didnt do the doors yet.

Made a thread about it here.

I ended up using 144 sq/ft on my install with 2 layers on the floorboards and headliner... makes a world of difference doesn't it??? I did it for acoustic reasons, but the thermal insuative properties of the dynamat extreme are awesome!!

Any issues with the stuff staying stuck to the ceiling during the summer?

It gets up to 117 here with surface temps in the 150's-170's.

Well I used Dynamat and no problems at all... And Houston gets pretty hot too.

Yeah but not my strong suit after being up since 5am.

Dealer should be able to get them and/ot supply the part number. You can probably get them from a junk yard too.

I have successfully used regular metric nuts when I lost mine.
