They look like rivnuts... But all the rivnuts I've seen and used are threaded all the way through, unlike the ones in your picture.

Looks more like a potted insert / blind panel fastener to me, try www.specialty-fasteners.co.uk or 01803 868 677

thanks for the replies chaps i have found the little so in soh's, there here under marine windows (https://www.seascrew.com/browse.cfm?...S&l=0000000586) these little things make for a nice smooth finish for the bonnet hinges rather than the humble pop rivets.



p.s these pesky little things have kept me awake for night after night thank god there sorted now!! yippee
