MattP Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 Afternoon Gents/Ladies I have recieved my new CW SMIC and as per yesterday I removed my Whiffin SMIC however I now have an unforeseen issue. The Whifbitz SMIC had a threaded upper bracket however the Stock and CW do not they employ two clips. My question is thusly can anybody tell me are these generic clips if so what are they. Or as I have since disposed of my old stock SMIC am I a bit stuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamilton Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 From the top photo they look to be threaded u-nuts, sometimes called chimney nuts. If you know the bolt thread size you can buy the corresponding nuts from quite a few places. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323992945875 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m12aak Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I have a spare OE u-nut, the bolt is M6x1.0 and the threaded part is approx. 13.5mm (this won't really matter though as you'd match the bolts to the corresponding u-nut you get. The u-nut height is 9.5mm (from top of u to bottom of the 'nut'), the length of the u-nut (longest side) is 27.5mm, and the gap of the 'u' is ~2.5mm. Edited October 10, 2021 by m12aak Grammar!
