M8 Captive Nuts
« on: October 05, 2015, 11:30:50 AM »
We've come across a few of these in stripping down our TJ and some are so corroded that they disintegrate while removing. Has anyone got any handy links for replacements?


I've found some that might work on eBay so I've taken a punt and order a pack of 8. If they work out then I can order more but I wondered whether anyone had already done the leg work?  :97:

I have a habit of losing those, but handily found that the mud guards on my XJ were held on with them. Bye bye mud guards  :003:

Hehe - they're already in the pile to take down there to see about replacements. I've popped down a few times recently!!

What about an M8 rivnut? I used 100s in the past, very handy and very quick. You can get both Ali or steel versions depending on strength required
