Default Daytona Spoiler

I removed the spoiler on my 2005 Ram Daytona last week so I could load up some couches. I followed these instructions:

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/diy-do-...r-removal.html

I guess the previous owner must have had the tail removed before because the cables were not attached and the rear bolts were missing on both sides. I went to Dodge to order the stand off bolts that slide into the bracket under the spoiler at the rear, and also wanted to get the clips that hold the cable to the tailgate post, but neither part is listed in their book. Does anyone know where I can get either of these parts? Or, does anyone have the dimensions of the stand off bolt so I can fabricate one myself? I figured I would use a zip tie to secure the cable, unless I can find that special plastic clip. See above link for pix.

Appreciate any help.

If you have the spoiler, then just measure the dimensions to make the stand off bolts as you call them. I think that would be better off because most guys would have to take their spoiler off to measure! That hardware prob only comes with a new spoiler.
As for the wiring, I love zipties. Not sure what I would do without those or my dremel???? ;-)

Or maybe even try to call a place like THIS that sells aftermarket spoilers and see if the hardware is the same as OEM and if you can buy it seperately?

Made some standoffs with carriage bolts and cut washers. Took awhile to get the right fit and with limited space, but the spoiler is back on and snug. Used zip ties also for the cable ends. Wish Dodge would have stocked the parts, but got er dun anyways.
