1G 1g Wing Hardware

I'm in need of these little fasteners. Does anybody know the part number for just these, or know where to source a set new/used?

These each hold a nut for the 2 bolts that lock the wing in place once it's slid on. As you can see, mine have seen better days.

When I had that problem I didn't want to deal with old used ones cracking. I cut up some steel I had laying around the garage to fit in the little tabs that hold em in, drilled some holes, tapped em, threw on some stick-on weather stripping stuff, applied some thread locker, and bolted em up. It's been solid for years. I know I've got some photos on my laptop.... Maybe I'll write up a short article on it.

That's kind of my plan B at this moment. I have enough scrap steel around that I could probably weld up a nice little replacement piece.

Update: I replaced them with pieces of aluminum flat plate. Tapped them for M8 bolts. Used a nice glob of silicone and an oring under the bolt head. Seems to work alright. I could probably have used a couple washers between the plate and the trunk to make the wing mount a tad flatter, but oh well. At least my hatch no longer leaks.
