I just got universal rally armor mudflaps and need help
I have the holes drilled in them after matching it with another legacy's drilling, but heres the issue I cannot find any hardware to install this, the holes are too big and sheet metal bolts were too small using size 14. Rallyarmor does not sell hardware as a package. Any suggestions on what to use or has anyone else experienced this before?

I've got some spare RA hardware from the new set I got when my car was rear-ended. I kept all the old hardware - I'll look in the garage, but if I can find it, it's yours... I'm up in Yuba City, though, so if we have commuters heading your way, that might be a way to get stuff to you. BTW, mine's for the '04 WRX wagon. Hope that will work.

From an Ikea mudflap DIY write-up.
Quantity: 10 - 1/4" x 1 1/4" Hex Bolts (20 tpi)
Cost: $0.11 per bolt
Quantity: 10 - 1/4" x 1 1/4" Fender Washer
Cost: $0.18 per washer
Quantity: 10 - 1/4" Speed Nut Clips (20 tpi)
Cost: $0.92
Quantity: 2 - Nylon Spacers 1/2" x .375 x 5/8" (comes in pack of 2)
Cost: $0.92
Below are a few cell phone pix I took today at Lowes to help you find the clips noted above. Please note Home Depot did not have the clips, but they did have the bolts and washers.
Find the Hardware Aisle and look for the drawers of bolts/fittings, it will look like this (at Lowes):
Open the drawer labeled J7 and keep your fingers crossed they have enough clips, in my case, I cleaned them out (the $0.92 ones):
This next pic shows all of the pieces needed to build your own mud flaps (only showing two baggies of the clips):
These next pictures show the nylon spacers you can use to give the flaps some breathing room between them and the car:
