| i use it in different applications... most of the use is on ares where i can not install a welding nut or if i have to repair a section where the original nur is missing and the paint should be kept... and as said, do not overtighten the bolt |

| [quote=Robb]need to use it where the captive nuts usually are in the bottom of the heater channel[/quote] Probably not much use now, but I am sure you could buy new genuine mexi grey ones loose singularly from heritage not that long ago & maybe still? I know I have a lot of spare original old ones somewhere in a box. |
