Blind fixings for sheet material (in a car), where to buy or alternatives

A cursory Google finds lots of places (ebay included). Start here, perhaps:

Do they need to be removed frequently or are semi permanent?

Have you tried a Citroen dealer?

My BMW uses fixings which are similar to the ones you describe for your bike but larger. Most dealers keep them since they break easily if you just lever them out. Think 6mm is a standard size for this sort of thing.

Other place that may have what you want is:-

And they send you a free cat with every order. ;-)

As already suggested, try a Citroen dealer. I have bought similar things for my Peugeot from the local dealer and as Citroen are the same company I see no reason why the same should not be true.

search terms.

Semi-permanent, removal by destruction is acceptable.

The picture there of "Screw on rivet." shows three different sorts of fixing all, apparently, ordered as the same item! Any one of them would be fine for what I want though, so thank you.

In their defence, the prices reflect the fact they have a huge range of slow moving items. Consider how much you like to earn in a day and then relate that to selling such items to make a living with a lot of stock tied up.

If they've got what you want, and no-one else has, they can charge what they like. That's how it works.

No - it's a picture of the whole thing and of the two component parts.

Not much point in selling the common stuff then?

For things like pre-insulated terminals they charge 7.94 for 100 red butt crimps. TLC 3.00. Both plus VAT. And TLC are rarely the cheapest.

But they seem to apply the same mark up to common stuff too. It's different getting charged a quid for two nuts or whatever in B&Q or Maplin

- you're paying for the premises and convenience.

So it does! I hadn't looked hard enough. :-)
