Front Strut Tower Nut Replacement

So I just installed my fstb, but during the installation, I managed to drop one of the six stock nuts and it fell somewhere into the engine bay. The nut belongs to the car now

Anyways, I plan on taking the brace off in the future when I get rid of the car, so does anyone know where I can find a replacement? A part number, perhaps? Thanks

Just take one of those nuts down to your NAPA auto parts, should have one that will work.

They're probably M10, full-height, non-serrated flange nuts.

Do you guys think this part would work. https://conceptzperformance.com/Cart...n.php?II=14462
I would go to my local auto parts store, but the last time I went to get a gasket matched and they said they couldn't do anything without the part number. I guess I'll end up going if I can't find the part number.

It depends. The GT-spec FSTB nuts have an inner collar design that descends into the bracket, so no. IDK what CUSCO uses.

You should be able to pick up a M10 SS Flange Nut at any hardware store.

It's a bolt dude... all you have to do is to to your local home improvement store or auto parts store and go to the hardware aisle and match it up.

Well it's a nut not a bolt, but I will go to an auto parts store. But like I previously said: the last time I went there they told me I needed a part number. Thanks for all the suggestions guys.
@Rochester the brace is cusco but I'm talking about the stock nuts, so I don't think it matters.

Some of the better hardware stores also have good selection of fasteners. We have a local Ace Hardware that has just about anything you could imagine.

Well, in that case, get some custom nuts in polished Ti.

Drop an email to DressUpBolts.com, and tell them you want a quote on 6 strut tower nuts for a G37.

I just messaged them about selling one nut. Hopefully they can do it and not overcharge me.

The guy who runs DressUpBolts is a stand-up seller. If I had known you were going to do a boneheaded thing like ask him to buy one strut nut, I wouldn't have made the recommendation.

Here, you want to buy one nut at a time, pay a huge mark-up and outrageous shipping costs? That's precisely what Pro-Bolt is all about:

Pro-Bolt Titanium Flanged Nut M10 x 1.25mm

Noobs.
