Good idea! At one time you could buy those in Woolworths as they had some domestic use. I am guessing that they may be found in Screwfix or even B&Q. And of course they do work rather well. I used them on a car once, but have forgotten which and what they were holding. I do remember that it was because I could not find the correct plastic bits. Possibly Mini headlights.

Maybe something like these flat nuts / spire nuts might help?

They were used on many Triumphs over the years for interior trim and take a threaded or self tapping screw of a certain size. Originally meant to clip over the edge of a panel, the return part could be cut off and the nut kept in place behind the locating hole with a touch of PU sealer.

They're also cheap so no big loss if it doesn't work.

These work quite well. I fitted some on a mini I used to have.
