RS2 wing nuts?

[saltinot]

Hopefully my friendly neighborhood body shop will be able to help me.

It's almost 10pm here now. Tomorrow morning I will take some measurements from the wing and one of the O.E. RS2 bolts that I have already. Once I work out the details I'll post my findings here and send you a PM with the info.

Thanks for the heads-up on the bolts. I didn't realize there was a difference. The one I have, RS2 number, are the black coated versions. Here in the southern US we don't have rust problems thank goodness. I might try to find a stainless bolt just so I would have to worry about them for a while.

Now if I could only find that part number for the threaded vacuum fitting on the intake manifold.

You may well find that if you buy them from supplier's counter (rather than have them delivered), then they might well have a tool there and be happy to pop four of them in for you F.O.C.

If you find the exact correct size, I wonder if you could PM me with the part number please?

Incidentally, the correct bolts that fasten the bumper to these will only be the right type (with a torx head) if you order the RS2 number. If you order the S2 number then you will receive a plain old hex-head bolt

The RS2 number is N90456702. Even then, my S2 originally had Stainless steel torx head type, but the replacement parts that arrived were black coated and a lower grade of bolt, though still torx

Yes! The Rivtec ones are exactly what we need! Thank you nefarious!

I need to take a measurement of the opening on the wing tomorrow.

It looks like there is a special install tool? I wonder is a body repair center would have these. hmmm

Found them:

and

I was about to embark on this exact same mission.

The original nuts on my car seemed to be mild steel and were fixed rigidly to the metalwork of the wing.

I would have expected them to come as part of the wing, but seems not, from the discussion and photo above.

I can't see them in ETKA, either

I know of similar types of fasteners, which I think crush into place like a rivet, like these:

...but they are not hex-shaped


hmmmmm

I bought new wings for my s2 coupe a while ago. I have looked but cant find the part number you need. Ring the dealer they should know. A bit of advice as well, do the new wings have the holes for the side repeaters? Mine didnt and i only noticed after the wings had been sprayed

I wish I could call the dealer, but this part is not available here in the states.

There are no holes in the wings for the side repeater. I had the same problem on my S6, but a stepped drill bit fixed that.

Try that

I believe that is the plastic nut that hold the liner.

I've been wondering if it is 8A0 805 943. It is listed in the same illustration, but there is no picture on for this part Also, the quantity needed is listed as two and four are need.

I would go to the dealer, but that part is not available in the US.

Maybe someone who knows the answer will speak up.

I bought new wings for my RS2 and noticed that the fixed nuts for bumper mounting were not included. The nuts are hexagon shaped and are fixed to the inner side of the wing arch. I've looked high and low and can't find the part number for these. Anybody know it?? HELP!

I included a picture of the new wing as a reference.
