Glad you got them OK.

They rivet on, small rivets, snap head both sides from memory. I'm sure someone will give you the size before I get home, if not i'll measure and post the size later.

cheers

Ben

All four holes that rivet the fitting to the floor and the one that the tank strap fits to are 5.5mm, HTH.
