98 Mountaineer Front License Plate Mount Fasteners

[gator_86_951]

Sort of a random question. My car was originally in florida so we didn't have front plates and the original bracket was knocked off at some point. I bought a replacement frame from the dealer, but it didn't come with any fasteners. Any idea what is supposed to be used? The holes are very shallow, and I am thinking it might be some kind of push-pin type fastener.

Any help would be appreciated. If I can't figure it out, I will just epoxy it or something.

I replaced the bracket and all from LMC Truck for less than dealer cost. I don't know if they sell the fasteners alone, tho.

Not sure if its the same style as my 2000 Ex, but I used expanding drywall fasteners on mine. Worked amazingly well.

Epoxy isn't the best application for this I think. I would just go to a hardware store and find a short fastener to use. Here's a few shots of mine since I'm bored. It uses something slightly stronger than a plastic xmas tree fastener. The white splotches are road salt spray.

Sorry to barge in, but I just replaced my front bumper, and need one of those clips, what the heck are they called?
