Wellnut

[N3FOL]

I am looking for a 'Wellnut' that sits on the inside middle part of the lower cowling. The rubber nut has a number of '550' and after searching the Yamaha parts catalog, it falls under part # 90179-05523-00. I have checked local motorcycle shops in our area and they charge $2.00 to $3.19 a piece of this small wellnut.

 

Internet search came up to be a 'C550/M5x0.8', but I am not sure if this has the same thread pitch for the bolt.

 

At any rate, does anyone know an alternative place to get the wellnut?

Mcmaster Carr sells them. I have gotten some for the head light unit I made.

Not sure about metric though.

 

They have extremely fast shipping. I ordered some fasteners from them once at 6:00 PM and had them the next day before noon. This was at regular shipping prices.

McMaster does have a lot of selection of nuts and bolts of any kind. I did find Wellnuts, in fact they call it 'Rivets' on their website. Now I just have to find out exactly what thread size and pitch I need. Right now I am on my way to Home Depot to find out...

Appreciate your response, Dingy.
