Lower coolant hose clip to sub frame - captive nut needed.

[guysy]

I've asked MarkR on here via PM who was very helpful, but on the parts computer he couldn't see it - As I removed the sub frame I took the lower coolant hose clip bolt out. The clip that pulls the lower coolant hose away from a metal pipe and secures it to the sub frame.

As I was re fitting it I had a lot of faffing about only to realize it had cross threaded, so I gave up as it crushed and pulled the captive nut.

Does anyone know if I can get a replacement to push into the sub frame so I can bolt this hose clip back on? otherwise theres no access directly underneath the hole otherwise I'd just use a bolt below it.

Thanks I'll look into it, dont think there will be enough room to rivet a nut on and I dont fancy dropping the sub frame nut for that but if its a last resort I may.

Must be able to buy a captive nut is that the right term? and tap it in
