I don't know if any good but saw these mentioned on another forum and wondered if any good for the air intake to slam panel

I’ve used similar to these before but found there was no grip on the outer rubber sheath, so the whole unit “spun”.

You have to fit the correct size so that they expand into the hole when you tighten them up (like a rawlplug). My Midget hardtop had something similar into the roof fibreglass on the folding catches. They allowed a bit of "flex" so that nothing was so rigid that it broke.

Used them to secure screens to the bike fairings

Still got some somewhere

I fitted metal plates with a 6mm nut attached into my air intakes. Both cars suffered from the nut and bolt seizing the the round nut turning in the rubber.

Another micky mouse design
