The wing hole is originally hexagonal. The nut slots into this and has a shoulder that prevents it dropping through. As you tighten the bolt the nut squashes slightly holding it tight in the hole in the wing. I have one somewhere if I can find it I will photograph it. Unless your wings are in really good condition if resort to bolt nut and washer.

Rivnut tool, you can get an ebay special for £20
You can also use a nut/bolt/washer, run the nut down the bolt, put the washer on, then install the bolt in the rivnut, fit the rivnut, then wind the nut back down the bolt until the rivnut is tight.
Its easy to strip the threads out of the rivnut with some tools. If you have a spare rivnut I would flare one on the bench just so you can feel/see how hard to do it.Current-2004 Impreza PPP wagon
