does anyone know a source for the captive nuts
as used for fitting the fog lights ?
i can't find one online that looks the same as the originals
( local LR parts department were no help )

is M4 the right size ?
( screws appear to be 4mm wide )

could i use this type ? ( in pic )

the ones i have on now are all rusted and deformed
2 be broken and won't hold the foglight in place
( have removed both lights 'till i can get this sorted ..
( 'n not enough room to fit conventional nuts n bolts

on the original ones .. the front and back are different widths
made so they fit properly into the plastic mouldings

cheers for any help ...

just to say ..
refitted the fog lights just now
the replacement nuts worked fine
captive nuts are m4 [as in above pic]
new ss screws are no.8 [4mm] by 15mm
[self tapping type]
