P38A Bolt and square nut for EAS Drier

awkwardbob said:

That may indeed be very awesomely helpful -assuming your nuts ain’t as rusty as mine !
It’s the bolt and ‘captive’ square nut which secure the EAS Driver to the plastic filter housing.

I’ll pload a pic when I get home tonight.

jut don’t go to any trouble, I’ll have a poke around in Screwfix and any decent iron monger I can find !

Try Wilko they have a nut and blot section

Can't you just cut a piece of 3mm plate to fit and drill & tap it for a convenient metric bolt size?

That’s the rascal.

I’ve got hold of some M6 bolts and square nuts to try.

will see how it goes .

Yep looks as described, it's just a lock plate, basically a trap nut, bolts are 6 mm that attach drier.

You are sure this is the bit you want?



Squirt of oil it be fine

Looks like the square M6 nut used on 19" racks might be a perfect fit ? Just pop the nut out of the cage, and slide into the bracket.

Thanks !

Will happily reimburse some bear tokens for the ‘right’ bits though !

You are welcome to have them if they are any use to you.
You’ve come this far

Not sure if this is any help, a little late to the party here! But I had the same issue. I managed to drill out what remained of the bolt from the nut, and save it (lucky, as I never did find anything resembling the square nut whilst searching online. Then I ordered part FB106077 (the bolt). Though in truth I think any M6 bolt and square nut arrangement will most likely keep it secured.

Hey, I’m genuinely very grateful for your help and I fear my solution s only a ‘temp’ one so I will PM you to arrange - I too feel sorry for your loss...

Have to say, on a brighter note, took her out for a looong drive all within Argyll and Bute and she didn’t miss a beat. Changing those rear bags seems to have sorted the issue (for now !) and it’s a job I can tick off my list !

I’m only teasing you bud
