Does anyone know where to source or found a simple alternative to the captive nylon M6 nuts that are used in the engine undertray rear & side locations ??

I found on my last voyager I just used some M6 bolts and put nyloc nuts on the back, but at least two of them are very difficult to locate & hold.

On my new 2007, even though the undertray hasn't been off much the nylon nuts are shot & the bolts just keep turning without tightning, so I know the threads are gone.

The front four are OK because they tap into the body so the threads can be tapped out and greased & new bolts/washers fitted.

Anyone else found this ?

from what I've seen the most common solution is cable ties. Someone was asking about these a few weeks ago...can't remember the outcome of it though

yeah maybe I'll try some wellnuts, I have a load that I use on my bike fairings ... good idea, I think I can drill out the plastic tray to take them.

Thx
