10-Piece U-Type Threaded Retaining Clip Kit – M4, M5, M6 & M8
Keep your vehicle's body panels, fairings, and trim firmly in place with this versatile 10-piece U-Nut Speed Clip assortment. Covering four of the most common metric thread sizes — M4, M5, M6, and M8 — this kit is an essential addition to any automotive, motorcycle, ATV, or scooter toolbox. Quick to install and built to hold, these spring-steel clips (also known as chimney nuts, speed clips, or plywood nuts) slip securely onto sheet metal edges and accept a threaded fastener without the need for any additional tooling.
Why Choose These U-Nut Retaining Clips?
- Spring Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade spring steel for exceptional elasticity, strength, and hardness — built to withstand the vibration and movement of everyday driving.
- Blue-White Zinc Surface Treatment: The dual-tone zinc plating provides a corrosion-resistant finish that stands up to moisture, road grime, and temperature fluctuations.
- Assorted Sizes in One Kit: Four thread sizes (M4, M5, M6, M8) means you have the right clip on hand for multiple panel positions, saving time and reducing the need for multiple orders.
- No-Drop Design: These clips grip panel edges firmly during transport and assembly — fasteners won't rattle loose or fall out before the bolt is threaded in.
- Wide Compatibility: Ideal for securing motorcycle fairings, car body panels, ATV trim, scooter bodywork, and general sheet-metal panel applications.
- Fast, Tool-Free Installation: Simply slide the clip onto the panel edge and drive the bolt — no welding, drilling, or additional hardware required.
