I have been digging in my spare f body nuts, bolts, and screw bags and haven't come up with that 12mm nut. I have tons of 10mm and 13mm, but no 12's.....yet
Are the spoilers on coupes installed the same way- with 2 sided tape?
Nope. Only the convertibles. They have 4 studs with nuts on them, and then 2 sides tape along the rear, bottom edge. Coupes just have the studs with nuts
Thank you sir! Now I know what I’m in for when I remove mine.
No problem. The rear spoilers on the convertibles are really thin and fragile compared to the coupe ones. That's the reason for the tape...it's kind of a "backup"

Thanks for looking Darin. It's actually an 11 mm. If I don't find one I'll just take one to the hardware store. The thing is, I KNOW I have at least a couple around. The silver lining is, I've found several things I thought I lost while looking for them.
No problem, Charlie. I dug through all of my stuff at work and at home, and I can't find one. And, having taken apart several of these cars....I can't think of anything else those nuts are even used on. I do have a 91 RS hatch at my brothers farm that still has the rear spoiler on it. I wonder if the hatch spoiler has the same nuts as the convertible spoiler??? If so, I will have one for ya.
I actually have something ordered that I was gonna send ya, and was just going to throw the nut in the package with the other item, lol.
Last night at my favorite local cruise night. Parked behind me and to my left is my good friend's 1986, 5 speed, 3.08 geared, Mustang GT. He swung by my house so we could drive there together. We lined up our cars at a light and ran them when the light turned green. It was a dead tie. What fun! Reminded me of the '80's again!
