Default Front bumper fixings

Hello,

I have removed my front bumper today as I'm getting a tasty cold air feed made for it and also getting a re-sprayed. Anyway I had a bit of a problem with the fixings along the bottom as they had got a bit rusty and a few of the bolt snapped. I have added a picture of one if anyone is unsure what I am on about.

Does anyone know where I can get hold of some replacements that are not thought Honda??

Cheers

James

If you are talking about the chimney nuts , Honda want about £2 each or more , they retail from nut and bolt suppliers from around 20p each.

The only trouble i am having with them is the OEM ones have a slightly larger cage than the industrial ones. I was also trying to get them in SS , but would have to buy 10,000, I have yet to try the slightly smaller ones i have to see if they are satisfactory.

If you try your local Fastener supplier they are called Chimney or Funnel nuts , M6 is the size , get some new M6 SS bolts while your at it.

Hmm they are quite pricey for a nut.

I briefly looked at them, but bought a Belstaff instead
