I think it is M6 from memory.  I couldn't find any on their, or Amazon, or from my usual fastener suppliers.

Do you still know anyone at the factory, we used to have them delivered in boxes of 4000.    They were zinc though, not stainless.

Sadly not, although the zinc ones are about a fiver for a lifetime supply if you shop around.  But they do start to rust after a while, which can make they a shit to undo without wrecking the panelling.

[Doctor Gollum]

If they come apart relatively easily then I add a drop of oil to the screw/bolt. If they get shredded undoing them then they get replaced.

I've been replacing them, with zinc ones (as all I can get), smoothered in copaslip.

[Marks DTM Calib]

I doubt its possible to form one of those in Stainless

That's the conclusion I'm slowly coming to...

I had seen something similar on Amazon Marketplace yesterday, but doubted they are what they claim (as Marketplace really is full of dodgy sellers). Maybe if I can find a cheap set, might be worth a punt, but the one I saw was £20, and no reviews....

That actually sounds familiar.  I think I might have had some shit off them through the Vine programme
