Item No.25:- 8E0 825 267, Plastic spreader rivet, £0.24 (x4)
Modified parts to fit as per my way:-
The combi bolt/washer (Item No.24) is plain galvanised steel, & I prefer to fit marine grade A4 stainless steel if I can find it, & found the following fitted perfectly:-
M6x16mm, A4 grade stainless steel bolts (x4)
M6x25mmx1.5mm thick, A4 grade stainless steel "Penny" washers, (x4)
You could also substitute Item No.23:- N 909 203 01, Rivet nut M6, £1.63 (x4) with stainless steel versions.
EDIT:-
If you do not have a rivet nut installation tool, ignore Items No.23 & 24, & just order another 4 of the plastic spreader rivet (Item No.25.) making a total of 8 quantity of Item No.25 to purchase. Forum member "Reggie Enchilada" has used this on his car & done 140mph with no problems!
