Hi to everyone,

So here's my problem.......I wanted to have a Towbar fitted to my XF (X250) but the garage couldn't fit it because the bolts and nuts holding them in place have become one with rust (see pics)

Does anyone know what Part number these are or at least the original dimensions?

Any help is much appreciated 👍

Item11, M6? Or it was once. The pin shaft for the M6 nuts will/my have lost the threads due to corrosion.

Some type of these (see link below) with some silicon adhesive on the back of the AL heat sheild may be a better option for reattachment. Depending on pin diameter remaining.

 

You could also try starlock washers shoved over the rusty stud

 

You could depending on the condition of the heat shield hole dia. Which also tends to corrode between the body shell and the steel nut, and enlarges the HS hole somewhat.
You could also space the starlock washers with Penny washers to increase the overall dia.
Depends what you find after taking off the heat shields, and what is easily available from you favourite DIY store.
