Beware of these .......
My 75 undertray was hanging off only held by the front fixings a few days ago so I ordered these from The Bay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ROVER-75-...72.m2749.l2649 I fitted the undertray back today & noticed the new fixings are shorter by about 1mm. They were fine for fixing to the bumper, & the two immediately behind but the other four were not long enough to "catch" the clips. Luckily I had about six of the old ones not lost & in reasonable condition & although the clips are also slightly smaller they work OK with the new clips

Just had a similar problem with a set I bought from one of the "Club" traders.

and these https://www.toolstation.com/stainles...-washer/p21040 I really ought to add some of these https://www.toolstation.com/stainles...-washer/p92679 to make sure they don't come undone I think they are better than the originals or these which I also bought https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/products/rov...0050-kzm000050 the land rover ones are ok when tight but the screws don't have a lot of depth for the screwdriver to sit in, I can see it being a bit of a problem if they corrode over time. I've never been a fan of a flat screw. |

I used those to fix the trim underneath the front indicators. Bit more of a bother when getting them off but might have been a better option

Same here from a trader "Set" Single slot not Posi, so near impossible to balance on the screwdrive.
And the worst part , made of plasticine metal ... so soft they just bend and jam up and strip . had to use a grinder/chisel to get a few out again.. Best ones are the original design and tightened properly.. C

I reverted to this sort of thing years ago and have never had an issue. It wasn't these but similar

... and with the nylon washers fitted to retain the studs should they become loose. Simon
