Syncro part number - captive nuts

Post by garyd »

Help needed with a syncro part number please.

On the 'vagcat', page 69 'PROTECTIVE PLATES / TRANSMISSION CARRIER / front' the front plate which runs between the bumper and the front suspension frame is shown together with the M6 bolts & washers which fix it. What it doesn't show are the captive nuts. These have a 'U' shaped spring plate which fits into the 'chassis rails'.

Anyone know a number for them or where they are shown on the listing?

thanks
Garyd

Rather using the VAG 'captive nut' replace them with a M8 'rivet-nut' - probably will need to get your local repair shop to do this.

the original vw m6 nuts on clips are obsolete, and other similar m6 ones are not deep enough to fit the chassis. Brickie has a nice alternative type, like a roof fixing, Rivnuts do work as an alternative.
I gave SyncroAndy all my old genuine fixings.
