spud murphy Posted October 19, 2007 Posted October 19, 2007 Hi all Just received and am trying to fit the front and rear kits from Paddocks part nums RTC6821 (rear) and RTC6820 (front). After removing the old remains of the original flaps it looks as though the the old fixings consisted of a large domed screw with a threaded 'top hat' nut to screw it all together. The replacements look identical but the top hat is not threaded. Spoke to Paddocks who said they're all like that and I'm the first person to ring 'em about it?? Any one fitted these kits? Cheers John Quote

DiscoClax Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 What you have shown there are a set of a type of crimp-locking fixings - think overgrown, 2-pc rivet. I think they may be a Huck-rivet sort of thing? These were also used as the original fitment. Requires special tools and are single-use only - PITA. Go the nut & bolt Quote
