Size of the nut please

Can anyone tell me the size of the nut that would fit the raised air intake (LR) the one that came with mine isn't the right one. See picture.

Also where I would but it from thanks.

I can't fit it until I have this Allan nut thing.

Its called a rivnut and you need a special tool to fit them, a nut and bolt and a couple of washers does the same job, basically its a pop rivet with an internal thread, theres only one important tip when using rivnuts always grease the bolt when fitting it.

Thank you, do you happen to have the size of the bolt that you would use to fit it? The very top one.

if the bolt with the nut on has a 10mm head then it is likely 6mm or if it's a 13mm head it will be 8mm and as said you would just need a Bolt that matches the rivnut. if it helps and you can get over to macc I have the tool for fitting these and some bolts similar if not the same .I'm away on holiday until Thursday. ( just having a little forum time whilst swmbo is asleep on the sun lounger , too much Greek wine last night

) You're not afraid of the dark are you ?
