Fixing clip

[aka.eric]

Does anybody have a pic of the fixing that holds these in place?Take it its a "rawplug" type that the screw goes into.

[Jools]

Errr...Can't quite see what you mean, but it looks like you need some wellnuts

[philthy]

Is that bit off the fairing? Looking at the hole size I would say that Jools is right.You may need the same fixings as the ones which hold your side panels on.

[aka.eric]

The parts manual shows them as:-85040151A Insert
Wellnuts are shown as 036499020 M6
800063150 M5
Are you using wellnuts?if they work they will do for me.

[philthy]

Still not sure where that bit goes.:puzzled: Go on ...give us a clue:D

[aka.eric]

Part no 23.

[aka.eric]

Try it a bit smaller!

Mine has a small spring steel clip that slides over both edges of the panel. The 4mm fixing screw threds into that. Look at the fixings up on the headlight frame that hold the RH side panel, same I think. NLA from ducati though but Halfords do Odd Packs that have a very similar item. Do you want a pic?

Rgds, Rob

Please,a pic is always handy.

Thanks for the info,I cant see b-gger all on that pic (no offence intended). Thats rattled the memory though,somebody was selling the red ones some time ago,Nattyboy perhaps?.

[phil911]

Here is a rare original 94 red part ... :D

[phil911]

Mines a spring clip that slides over the plastic to take the screw like Rob describes,you might be able to get some from an automotive supplier for a few pence.

Here's the clip thingy. It's the right bit as the description on the packet confirms. I think the rivnut type where on the 851.

We use clips like this in rack mounts for computers.

Is this the same thing?

Mike,

Those are the same as the mirror mounts and the upper front side panel fixing. M6 captive nuts are used in 6 places on the headlight frame, 3 each side.

Still looking for the 4mm clips, only 656,000 hits in Google!

[Rob B]

Mike, What 4mm clips?

[mikesps]

These ones, I think? We don't have Halfords in these here parts :frog:

Thanks for the assistance,bought some "U" clips from local motor factors,look very similar to Ducati part but use a self-tapper.Does the job,and only 70p for 6.

We can't stop this thread now! Do you have a pic of the clips?:lol::lol::lol:

[mikesps]

I have a picture of a Halfords store if that would help :lol::lol::lol:

Here we are,the clip slides over the panel,lines up with hole.Screw comes thru fairing into clip,Bobs your aunty.Not sure but original fixing may have used an M5 thread not a self tapper?Thats my concours trophy gone then
:).When I bought the bike a pop rivet had been used?Genuine part is no longer available.
