Where to find these do-dads ???? & has anyone had luck....

Where can I find some of these ??? I don't even know what they're called.



They go to a '86 750 [& others I'm sure]
They go into the fairings to hold on the headlight & and on the side fairings to hold on the air dams
I tried the nut & bolt place next to my shop but no go. Ya think maybe a auto body supply ?? A paint store ?? Home Depot ??

I repaired the tabs with Plastex and was wondering if anyone had any luck with drilling & taping ?? If I can't locate any of those do-dads.
If I do tap new threads I'm wondering if the screw will strip out over time since it would just be the plastic holding the headlight on.

 

I am looking at this on my phone so the image is not the best. Is there supposed to be rubber surrounding that brass? If so, it looks like it may be a well nut. They are available at Home Depot but I have found that theirs fit loose and are a pain. I will be going back to OEM for mine.

 

Googly-oogle is your friend.

That part is called a "nutsert" Daplatten,they come in lots of different styles. Google it,you'll find it

 

Those are called Nutserts.

I would probably replace them with appropriately sized well nuts.

Thanks guy's. Knew I could count on ya.

Randy, No they don't have plastic around them per-say. they are inserted into the tabs that hole the headlight on. I will be drilling out the new holes so maybe the one at Home Depot will work. I was wanting to buy them locally in order to move this refurb along. But also want to do it right so if I have to order them from the web that DfnsMn69 recommended I will.

 

The OEM well nuts are about $4/ea I know Home Depot should carry them. But the second site I posted has them for .60/ea and is a good enough deal that I have about 20 extra on hand. As far as the nutserts go take a look at the parts breakdown here it shows them. Good luck with the search.

 

Yep, well-nuts is wut they calll them. I have used them on some custom applications such as, steering dampeners and rear swing arm spools for race bikes. It is a one time application as when you torque down the nut, there are teeth that get torqued to the "hole" that your inserting it in, a little Freudian here; butt you get the picture, if not, google it, I am sure you will then.

Sent from my aging lap-top ; ) :evil:

 

Wasn't there a greaseman song about the doo-dads...' On her chin'

 

Sounds like you have "tapped" into finer things :koolaid: I didn't think of on these beaut's.
Now I really look forward to putting these wut ya call them nut things in. :spankme:
When I google your suggestion all I get is
:boobies3:

Randy wants me to wrap them with rubbers.....rider wants me to tap them.
Now the wife is going to be even more jealous of my Asian girlfriend Honda

 

Found some for .27 each at a local place called "Marshall's Industrial Hardware" Look them up if their in your local town.
