Just replace some myself after an A panel replacement.

Bought some stainless steel flat pointed socket head grub screws that did the business - M5 x 20mm.

see http://www.stagonset.co.uk/

they also do the washered nut

buy a length of 6mm studing and cut it down to length required. failing that just cut the head from some 6mm set screws (fully threaded bolts)

But there 5mm i.e. M5 thread

[plantfitterRich]

ok sorry 5mm!.... you get the idea though

I was going to do the same and actually ordered a length of M5 studding but then found the socket head grub screws, it's a lot easier (and less damage) as you can use the allen key to insert them in the arch then just screw the washered nut over the top when the arch is fitted - "simples".

The OEM spostpack arches should have M5 threaded inserts sunk into them, if these are lost then you could bond them in with Araldite???

They are very quick with delivery as well, mine were delivered in 2 days (you'll probably get your's Tuesday with it being the weekend?)

I did get a bit carried away and bought all sorts of bits and peices for my stock, you can spend a fortune if your not carefull????
