Default 4x4 Bonnet Vent Brass Inserts

Does anyone know if you can get new inserts for the 4x4 Bonnet Vents?... the brass threaded jobbies that fit in the plastic pegs...

I just took a small nut and ground off the flats to make it round and then epoxy resin'ed then in. Then I used stainless capheads to hold my vents and stainless plates in place.

tabetha... It appears not, spoke to my parts man today at Ford and the only items available seperately are vents (£90each!!!), bolts and washers... no ferrule thingies!!!

cossie1000... That sounds like a good plan, never thought of that!!!

I have some s/h ones but six captive nuts are missing.
I was going to fix these with JB weld over the nut that I inserted DOWN the hole first, so it is totally covered apart from the hole for the screw, I drilled the holes deeper for this, but then luckily found two new ones for £75, so using them now.
