Heatshield Rattling - Nuts?

[Revels]

Reeeet, my exhaust is rattling. Well, the heatshield. The two parts at the back that join together.

There's a bolt that is attached to the car, then these two pieces go over that, nut on the end.

M6 fits but the thread won't tighten. M8 is too big and just falls off.

Are there special 'Awkward French nuts' that I need to buy?

M6 and threadlock as a last resort?

It's a funny looking clip, couple of quid from Renault. Will dig out the part number if you need it.

M7?

That was a plan but the bolt is a fair bit longer than it needs to be so still gives them room to rattle around.

If you can mate. Cheers.

M7?

Lol. Does that even exist? Or are you attempting humour?

Genuine question. Make sense to try one (if they exist).

That is not a fitment for a conventional nut...

Thankyou gentlemen.

As above.

I've probably got some second hand ones kicking about if you need one.

Think I have some I bought from Renault for my old phase 1 too.

Can these clips be replaced with normal nuts?

If so can anyone confirm the size?
