Sorry to revive an old thread but better than making another one! I just got a set of these 2nd hand and looking forward to fitting them, don't suppose anyone knows the Rivet size I need for these?  :whistle:

Also, I wish they came with the speakers for the rear too.....

Just a thought, would a well nut work in this instance esp as there is very little load? This would negate the need to buy the riv-nut tool.

Good shout that, my only concern would be, how to you stop it from turn when getting to the tightening point

Do you recall what M bolts you used?
Again as I had access to lots of duckets of nuts, waters, screws, bolts etc I used what worked. Cannot remember what size they were sorry.
