Anyone install the transmission metal skid plate on their non-Z71?

Waiting on the bolts and special nuts. Don't think it will be good enough to protect some of the diesel fuel heater lines.

 

Will be making aluminum plates for some of the other "fragile" areas. Might make a larger one for the transfer case.

 

Harvested corn stalks will destroy the under carriage wires and hoses. Zip ties by the bags, help.

Is there a part number for the bolts and special nuts?  I wasn’t able to see any of that when looking to order the skid plate.

Cool thanks.  I saw in another post long ago that someone used river nuts to secure the plate.   But I guess the U-nuts is the proper GM nut to use here.   
 

Please let me know how it goes when you get it done.  Would like to see the finish product.
