You're going to need to get a couple nuts... a flange nut is probably best just take the handle with you into the hardware store and find a couple that fit nice.
Got it. Thanks. Glad to hear they are not anything out of the ordinary.
For those wondering- the nut specs needed (for a 1995 grab handle) are M6-1.0.
Can you post some photos of your finished product using the painted bar?
Thanks so much for these detailed instructions. I followed them and now have my grab bar installed, without any problems. The photo shows the infamous "point of no return"95+ mounting
Alrighty then
I have a nice new grab bar mounted on a totaled truck
This is a
Hand tools only needed and only a few
heres a list
2 Phillps head screw drivers 1 reg and 1 stubby
1 10mm socket
1 10mm gear wrench (flex head I used )
1 awe
1 Xatco knife
Now onto the fun
before starting disco the neg batt. cable
1)Pull the glove box
two screws hold it at the bottom then remove the latch hoop at the top
2) next pull the speaker by removing the screw that holds it at the bottom .
3) remove the one screw that holds the glove box light
4) once thats out behind it is the factory radio amp which is held by 2 screws (4a)that are seen when you pull the speaker once they are removed you can unplug the 2 connectors (4b) and slide the amp out to the side through the glove box hole
5) here comes the fun part there is a air duct that runs from the air vent next to the A piller over to the center of the dash above the glove box opening. there is 1 screw (5d)that holds it but is a bugger to see as its right above the hole (5a) for the left side of the tab for the speaker . Use the stubby driver to remove .
Getting it out of the dash is a little tuff so I pulled the screw and the bolt (5c)that holds the lower part of the dash below the speaker hole to give me a little more wiggle room .
6) once its out you can reach up behind the dash and feel the round hole on the back of the pad that is one of the holes for mounting. Its right above the right side opening of the glove box door .
7) The point of no return
Take the awe and push it through the hole to the outside of the dash pad . (8)
Now that you got a cool metal spike sticking through the dash its time to find the other side .
8) pull out the awe and now use your handy dandy grab bar to get a good idea where the left side hole will be .
9) I used the bar as my guide for that hole and then push the awe through the front as there is no access to that one from the back .
10) once the holes have been made take the grab bar and put it in them till the welded washer with the tab hits the pading and draw around them as this is what will be cut out . (10)
11) once marked use your Xacto knife to cut through vinyl on the lines ..
12) pick out the vinyl so you can see the foam core under it . cut that out and you will see the holes for the stud and the tab on the welded washer . (11)
13) the right side nut goes on easy but the left has the other part of the duct and this is where little fingers and the gear wrench is needed to tighten it up .
14) grab bar is mounted
At this point I was at the 1 hour mark with getting tools etc . (that and working off a lift arm 6 feet in the air)
15) put it back together and have aand
Pixs will follow with the step #s next to them

Sorry to revive this (great) old thread - I've ordered the grab bar, but after taking the air duct out and looking for the holes, I think I've made a mistake here.
I've order item #74670-60060-B0 where I should have ordered item #74670-60040-B0. My car is an LC80, 1996, gray interior.
Could someone measure the distance between the 2 bolts of his grab bar and post it here?
Mine is 30.4 cm (11.96") center to center.

Lemme see if I still have a extra / loose one on a shelf of LC parts.
If it’s there, I’ll post measurements- if it’s not, I’ve no clue where in my crap it is.
But ~12” seems about right…….from memory

Post a pic if what you have. Sounds like a bar for a 7x series.
That's a 70-series part.

Thanks,
Need to find a store that sells the correct one.
Anyone needs a mint condition, still in the bag, grab bar for their 7x series?
