Have searched the forum but did not find the answer. I know to remove the expanding rivet, you push the pin in and then remove.
How does one replace them again ?

Pull the centre pin almost fully out, insert the 'stud' into the aperture and replace the centre pin by pushing it all the way in
Simples :yes:
Thanks OC,
Did try that but did not work. Will get stuck in a bit later again.

They can be a bit 'fiddly' especially in awkward areas :yes:
Make sure both panels, or panel and mounting, are touching eachother. Otherwise the clip will not be in fully enough to expand.
Hi Guys,
having 'broken' a couple of these a number of times - any one recommend a source for replacements as my local joke of a bike shop charges £1.50 each for them.
:nono:
I realise possibly fleabay but what do I search for
:ohplease:
Do an ebay search for 'fairing clips' or fairing rivets'
Note they come in different diameters and lengths. Take one of your good ones out and measure before ordering.
ebay search (http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=panel+clips&_osacat=9884&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR4.TRC0.A0.H0.Xfairing+clips&_nkw=fairing+clips&_sacat=9884)
Thanks Doebag...

Like wimmin :grin:
I find when you are re-inserting them it can help to just pinch with your fingers the end so they don't splay out.
