check strap

Dave,
I recently sorted my check strap, same problem as your.
I used a rivnut, bought from eBay. Put this in eBays search bar and you'll see the type that I bought "10 Rivet nuts Rivnuts Nutserts M6 Stainless Steel".
I used a home made rivut tool, search the internet, there''s plenty of well illustrated examples of how to make such a tool.
I had to drill the old bolt out as the captive nut on the back had broke away from the body and so prevented me from screwing it out. I also replaced the bolts with standard allen bolts, as the originals are Torx I think, and have found Torx too easy to strip if the drivers lips. No such concerns with allen keys
Regards
