Stainless Top Mount Nuts - MINI Cooper Forum

I would like to replace the rusting top mount nuts on my 2007 R56 Cooper, the originals look like they have an enlarged base (like a built in washer) does anyone know of anyone offering after market stainless versions. Failing that standard stainless nuts and washers may do the trick I suppose.
Any thoughts?

Cheers
Steve

They are called Serrated Flange Nuts, theres plenty of suppliers on line for stainless and other coated types. Paramount Fixings show some, you need to check your metric thread size of the ones you need.
Google Flange Nuts and theres a fair few suppliers out there.

Hey Thanks Nun...thats great, just the info I was after

It looks like the thread size is M8, there are loads of stainless ones on ebay....result !

I'm hoping I will be able to just replace them one at a time, without too much agro, I take it the bolts are captive ???
