The answer is yes to what you said above. It is much easier to match up the holes in the skirt to the 6-32 "studs" on the aluminum angles than trying to find threads in the angle with a bolt on the outside and I don't think I'm losing much aero with these small nylock nuts, but it would look much sleeker with button head bolt heads on the outside.
Also I forgot to mention that almost all the 6-32 captured bolts (studs) are different lengths depending on which part of the skirt they are holding flush. the ones in the very lower and forward part of the skirt being the longest (1 1/2") and the shortest on the top back (1/2"). Fortunately I had a variety of lengths at the start.
I don't have to remove the skirt to check the tires. I just jack up the rear end and they droop down enough to air up or inspect. I would need to remove the skirt to change the tire.
The side skirts are 6 inches wide and are made from the regular thickness coraplas. They clear the ground by 5 inches and I have never heard them scrape.
