Re: Captive nuts holding the front skid guard on!
no longer available, I think Baxter has found a substitute
can use rivnuts but not ideal as deformation can't be factored in, hence the originals being floating style

Re: Captive nuts holding the front skid guard on!
I found some replacements!!
They are similar, the new one is slightly narrower, but they do fit.
They are carbon steel in one piece with a rolled thread and have an anti-vibration (Prevailing Torque) feature to prevent the bolt loosening under vibration.
I think they will work, what do you think?

Re: Captive nuts...now found some...
Oh yeah forgot that!! 100 of them for £25 (inc £5 p&p) = 25p each
Im going to order some, then issue them at cost, unless someone want to buy them themselves?
They are from a company called Jet Press (http://www.jetpress.com)

Bob on that, I've been struggling to find a decent supply.
I'll probably buy some and bag them as kits.
loads of other interesting Nik Naks on there too that I've been on the look out for.
Well done! Thanks for sharing the link.

Re: Captive nuts...now found some...
Indeed, I have also found some locally, but quite expensive @ €21.90 for a pack of 20. They are galvanized though.
