Surely the captive nuts are on the plates riveted to the tub?

Unless you’ve got a Td5 or later tub, in which case you need the later type of crossmember mounting rail which has the captive nuts on it instead.

Got a tdci late tub hinge nuts should work hopefully ,bit tight with tdci tank in rear and unfeasabley fat fingers lol ( no complaints from swmbo)
 
So getting ready for tub fitting and no rivnuts in rear crossmember for tub ☹️ So had this idea hinge nuts so to still give “wiggle “ room
Rivnuts for the tub :confused: My cross member had 5 lugs welded along the back!

Later tubs had a adjustable up stand to bolt to crossmember your tub will probably have riveted plates with nuts on to bolt through
Well, I've learned something there marra. Paintwork looking good, it's nice to see another progress post :)

Tremendous! I hope you're allowing yourself a wry smile :D
That's one hell of a dash. Will the heating controls, etc be working?

Are you going to cover your seatbox? I sprayed mine and it came up lovely .seems a shame to cover it in a rough old matting. Would have to buy a new mat but still wouldn't be happy covering it.
