Plastic rivets for the plastic bit that covers the battery

Hi folks!

What is the plastic rivet that's used to hold the plastic bit over the battery called? There are two of them and one has left the building so to speak. I need new ones and are out of luck and my Google-Fu is very weak.

Sorry I don't have the answer but I almost broke one from the other side and thought it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a few extras.

 

Check out www.clipsandfasteners.com they have quite a bit of stock and even have the Well Nuts that everyone seems to look for from time to time...

 

Great site! Saved!

 

You can get them from Honda. I replace all mine just because one wore out and the others were likely to go soon too. Just go to a Honda dealership and they can look it up on their computers quite easily. I am not sure if you can get a fastener at one of the usual fastener businesses for this purpose as these are fairly specific is size and design. I could be wrong though on that aspect.

I will check my service records and post a part number if I in fact even kept that particular receipt. I may not have though.

 

Yeah, but won't you have to pay, as they say, through the nose?

I vote amazon, fleabay, aftermarket... Pay through just 1 nostril. You compute the savings, lol.

 

Then you have to know what fits though...

 

What is your time worth to you? There has to be some value to this. You would likely spend a few hours trying to find a clip that works on Ebay or Amazon or wherever. I don't mind using the net to find something a little less expensive so long as it is equal to or better quality than OEM. I do so for the faring clips. What I found quite easily is far better than the OEM and about 1/5th the cost of those damned Honda faring clips. But I don't think that supplier has a clip for that battery cover.

BTW. This search took me about 20 minutes of my time.
Part #19. $2.95 each. There are two on the battery cover. Replace both whichever way you go.
