Hi, I have on my original wing some hexagonal bosses on the wings to bold on headlight guards, however my replacement wing is plain.

Does anyone know where I can get the bosses that bolt through the wings?

Its to fit these

They may not be hexagonal but there are items available called rivnuts or rivet nuts. They are applied using a tool not unlike a pop riveter into pre-drilled holes.

However, many folks just use plain hardware with shakeproof nuts - no particular need there for a rivet nut as the back of the wing is easily reachable to put the nuts on the bolts. it's not like you'll be taking them off on a weekly basis, after all.

Rivnuts are handy if you have to change a bulb on the roadside you only need the 1 spanner or screwdriver without having to struggle around the wing. You can get aluminium ones too as well as stainless so they wont corrode the wing panel
