retaining screws for tourer rear lights

I'm sure you can get some off one of the traders on here m8
Try cossie dunc, trikey or tom Dutch
Alternatively I think they are m6 try eBay
Reckon they're about an inch long ?
In regards to the fixing that is turning they are called rivnuts also available on eBay :D
I've spent the whole afternoon repairing my rear lights on my tourer and was told the rivnuts were m6 but I've discovered m6 to be too small - they fall straight the hole vacated by the original rivnut. :shrug:

Am sure I saw on here or ebay a repair kit of screws and inserts to fix this problem.
Perhaps Mat at DMGRS would know. He has his finger on the button with these sort of things.
