U-Nuts / Spire clips / speed fasteners for wings

I'm trying to reassemble my wings onto the car and need some nice shiny new clips, + alot of mine had rusted away.

Skandix is too expensive and everything else is too small, need to be about 24.5mm long, the typical 21mm ones are too short.

Anyone have or know where to buy these?

I have some new genuine Volvo ones about. They might still be available from the stealer!

Bresco looks like a wicked link. It looks like they can do the clips or studs that hold the plastic under-engine tray to the front panel. Dai, you don't have any of them, by any chance??

Also this chap in Bangor, Co. Down says he does them too (15x25x1mm). Has an useful range of grommets, nuts, bolts screws etc.

Next hard to to find item are the 10mm Flush body plugs. These need to be right and are hard to remove without damage.

Seem to be plenty of imperial ones at 9.5mm but I suspect these will not fit well.

You can still get the original ones from Volvo.
