Speednuts

Specifically, where the buggery fuck does one get them these days?

 

This type:

 

 

 

Backstory: silly old giffer in a new i10 biffed my S Type this morning. Not too hard, but enough to make the front bumper jump its outside brackets, and wreck the chrome trimmer. I was ready to go all Phil Mitchell on him, but he wasn't a bad old sort, and was genuinely mortified.

 

Anyways, he's agreed to pay for all the bits etc., but in the course of removing the bumper, nearly all the sodding speednuts broke.

 

Have a pic:

 

 

So if anyone knows a good source for these things, I'd be very grateful indeed.

You might have more luck looking for "spire clips" or spire nuts". Either gives a lot of results on eBay. This one looks quite near the mark.

Any decent factor or bodyshop supplier stock them, or you can get them VOR from the dealers. They aren't expensive even from them. I usually get them in a assortment box of all different sizes, they're a handy thing to keep.

Funnily enough a bloke came into work today after some of them for a Ford Tranny, we do spire clips that are similar but without the threaded bit:

 

If you need a few let me know what size and I'll get some out to you.

Cheers shite_meister. I already have some of that type. Thanks for the offer though, much appreciated.

Land Rover floor plates are held in with these too. I normally grind the bolts out and replace the lot.

Astra wings are held in with these. You could get about 14 by raiding one.
