I don't suppose anyone knows the proper name for the square clips that the (No. 8?) self-tapping screws get screwed into, to hold the extra faring to the fan cowling?
I've been looking for 'spire' clips, but all I'm getting are the U-clips. But in the clips I need, the screw would actually screw through the centre of the square hole, not through a hole adjacent to it as you would for the U-clips.
The parts book seems to show these clips as being part of the fan cowling, and not available as a separate part, but I could do with a couple of replacements.
 
I think they are the same as the ones that hold the badge on the front panel. There's a smaller plastic version that holds the headlamp surround on.
 
Quite possibly. It's actually a number 10 screw that goes into it, and I think they are also used by the screws that hold the transfer box lever gaiter retainer in place. The square plastic bushes are very similar and might possibly fit in the fan cowl, thinking about it, but I'll use a proper metal one now I've found them.
 
I wouldn't trust that, mine has the same screws and spire nuts for that as the floor (320045). What is odd is that its shows some square plastic nuts too, mine has the same size spire nuts all round and the larger screws, These are square ended and won't screw into the square captive nuts, only the flat edge ones.
