I had a spare but when I tried to screw it in, there was no thread. It is the forward most one and seems to go into the chrome strip and not the mudguard. Anyone ever pulled these strips off.? Is there a capture nut in there or some sort of insert: I cant hear anything rattling around. shocked1: A dog, a bike, a ute, Now in the deep south.. Newcastle.

Get a bright spot light and look down in there, sounds like some rust or gunk. You could chase the threads with a tap. Is your spare bolt the exact match? Pull the other side off and see if it takes the threads. The front and back bolts are different lengths. 2005 Model . Two Fast Eddy stickers , a bell and a clock . She's Lola .
