As far as I know, they are a b***h to buy from local stores as they are a random size. There was a member on here selling them for £3 posted. Think it was N1ck or something like that.

Pretty sure someone on here had used a star nut from the top of a bicycle headset.
Was metal and secured with an allen key bolt.

25mm isnt big enough, you need 27/28mm, i ended up getting one from a small DIY store and its a tight fit now, yeah my mates still find it funny to push it through though

I got one spare, well its not spare, I just cant find where it came from. Had my laptop bag in the boot and it was stuck on something so yanked it and one flew out. Dunno if it would fit though.
