Arch Trim Clips / Grommets On A Budget...

Recommended Posts

artois7

Hi all,

 

Trying to refit my arch trims without spending £25 per side on the "kit" on ebay...

 

I reckon this can be done cheaper. I found the starlock washers:

Now I just need to locate the rubber bushes / grommets that go through the wing, and the rubber spacers that sit between the wing and the washers. I have all the existing white clips to go into the washers.

 

Anyone got any advice on the bushes/grommets and spacers? the wing holes are 8mm allegedly so this may work (the 9.5mm x 6.4mm is close ish):

Found the thread on here suggesting nylon bolts, washers & nuts. Great idea. 10 delivered for £2.49 and will make removing them in the future super easy.
