Hi all!
I was under the bonnet of my Bongo at the weekend, and noticed that the radiator is not fastened at the top to the cross-member, also the air scoop is loose.
Hoping someone can advise me what bolts/screws I need in each case.
I've uploaded a few photos:

Re: Fixings for radiator top mount and air scoop
The air scoop is fixed in place by Scrivits or Screw-Rivets these come in a massive range of sizes I bought a bag of mixed sizes from eBay several years ago and then just select whatever size fits when I need a replacement like these https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/393601517260
The radiator is not held at the top by any bolts the supports just appear to fit over the plastic caps;

Hi Geoff,
Thanks so much for the info, and the link. Funnily enough I was in Lidl at the weekend and I'm pretty sure I saw a. Box of something like scrivets in the middle aisle. I'll nip along after work.
Re. The radiator top mounts, I'll have another look, as it does look like the radiator is sitting too low for the rubber mounts to be doing anything useful; the radiator is free to wiggle forward and back as much as it likes at the moment.
Just noticed one of my pics was bombed by an 8 legged friend

Re: Fixings for radiator top mount and air scoop
Like g8dhe, I bought a mixed bag of fixings from eBay, (with removal tools too which have come in handy), and have used them for a variety of fittings over the years. And as you say, often you’ll find such handy packs in Aldi/Lidl.
