BGW is awesome.

Do you have the studs that @BGW circled, if so you just need the acorn nuts he showed at the bottom of his picture. If you don't have the studs, not a big problem. Take one of the ones you still have to ace hardware and you can probably buy replacement studs.

If you are missing the bracket the studs go into, that is a different problem.

you are welcome.
i did a quick check and it looks like brackets and nuts are still available. Here is the illustrated parts breakdown. You can order online, LOOK ON EBAY, go to your dealer or a salvage yard.
the parts fit on the LS430,GS430 and SC430
i checked the new price on one of them and it was about $6
