    Can anyone tell me where I can buy some of these threaded rubber collars/rubber nuts things?
    Just noticed that some of them were gone to bits on my bike and the threads were fcuked.

    Anyone know what they are actually called and can they bought cheap online or off ebay?
    Thanks.:)

    They look a lot like the clips on plastic parts in car engines, try running a search for whatever make of bike it is clips or plastic clips and it should bring up some results. I'm not sure on the official name for them.

    They're called grommets, you'll find loads of different kinds on ebay.

    They are known as rubber well nuts,
    Main dealers should have them or failing that Louis have them.
