Captive Nut For Tank Mount - 2000 Txt 280

Does anyone know where I can get a captive nut or whatever it's called for the tank bolt for a Y2k TXT 280? When I bought the bike recently it came with what looks to be a home made captive nut with a bent washer and nut but this has now failed. I did order one from a Gas Gas uk online shop but the part they sent me doesn't fit in the rather large hole in the frame.

Here is the hole in the frame where the nut is meant to be mounted:

Here is a photo of the part that was sent to me that doesn't fit:

I guess the 2 "hooks" are meant to sit on the edges of the frame hole but they are too small. Have they sent me the wrong part for this year of bike? Or has someone enlarged the frame hole at some point?

Cheers.

Gasser already use these to fasten the rear exhaust on some of the older models, BMW also use them on their 3 series window winding mechanisms. You should be able to find one that fits your slot.

Try an Ebay search for "clip on fasteners.
