Rivnut for VW Bikerack (T5)

[boopzz]

I bought a second hand VW T5 tailgate bike rack before Christmas, I've only just painted it black and installed it. During painting I unscrewed as much as possible and took it back to bike support, main frame and wheel rails. The screws that hold the rails onto the support arm are rivnuts and 2 of them are spinning so need to be replaced.

Does anyone know what size they are so I can order some more?

What size bolt goes into it ?

Try this if you have the screws out and its only the rivnut spinning

I'll try and have a look at the size, maybe an M4 bolt. 4mm Allen key to turn it. I'll measure it with calipers to find out

Cool, one rivnut has the bolt out and I can get it out so will defo try this! Unfortunately another is stuck with a spinning bolt. So I'll have to try and get the bolt out of if all else fails cut the bolt
