I'm talking about the rivnut type things that are in the frame sides you use them to bolt the mirror stay and infill panels to the frame.
Mine are turning within the frame so I cant tighten the brackets up.

Has anyone ever had this and been able to resolve it?

Only option I can see there is knock em out and fit new ones. Not sure how you'd get it out without dropping it inside the frame tho.

I can't see how they secure to the frame, otherwise I would try and get them out and replace them. I'm a bit stumped!

They work just like a rivet, put em in and use the tool to expand them

I've had the same issue on several bikes. I remove the RivNut and replace it with a threaded insert bedded into metal putty. Like this:



I think I've got some M6 in stock. PM me your address if any of those are any good. Can't remember if the mounting bolts are M6 but you can always replace the bolts anyway. If not, I should be able to get hold of some M8 ones.

Steve. Thats exactly what's in there now as standard so I'm wondering if it will just pull out then ?

If you can get a bolt into it with a washer on, you should be able to extract it with a modified bearing puller. If it's not damaged, just re-fit it with metal putty and leave it for 24 hours before torquing up

Cooliio cheers mate

I have a rivnut tool if you want to borrow that to tighten it up ?
