Hi Rich,
If you are fitting part# 1K0 513 713 D then fastner on the NS sub frame is a Rivet stud. Part# N 910 011 01. I broke 2 drill bits drilling into the sub frame. :rolleye:
For the part you are fitting which is longer my guess is it uses a bracket part# 1K0 825 221 for the NS , the opposite part being 1K0 501 682 for the OS.
Part number 1K0 825 221 is used for fastening the large cover on the NS where the exhaust box would be. These brackets also need the bolts/nuts etc
Regards

Cheers Baz I have 1K0 501 682 as the part for the proper cover, so 1K0 825 221 is its mirror image for the rear passenger side mount and N905 483 05 and N901 838 02 are the nut and bolt for the subframe.
But on top of that did the plastic nut that locates into the long threaded part from the subframe (1K0 501 682) have a nylon nut or something else in inside the plastic holder?

The three that hold the new front undetr tray on? I found they were very tight to fasten (was only using cheap ratchet screwdriver) Think it may just have been the locktite on then though

It's better first to 'recut' and clean the threads in the alloy subframe
to get the bolts easier in.
