If you look at the sets, most of them have ten.

But then again, hot dogs have 10 and buns have 8.

Ripped out some DZUS' and up she came. I needed two extra in the back that I never got around to mounting which allowed the front to flex more.

Craigs rivits ripped out of the fenders when the air got under the hood that was it.. what a mess that was:lol: I like some of the rail style set ups. The rail bolts down to the fender and its seems to be solid.

If you do use dzus fasteners, it is also a good idea to have fire suppression, under the hood.
