Just a random query. Taking a look at the headlamp area - I'm expecting new LED indicators some day soonish. The chrome mini-indicators that were on the bike were attached by hollow bolts with the wires passed through.
The whole setup seems complicated, and on my bike it doesn't fit. There's the long hollow bolt, a threaded sleeve covering part of that, a shaped metal insert which fits into a shaped rubber grommet in the headlamp bracket, a rubber grommet in the headlamp shell, a plastic collar which fits within the insert, and then a washer and a nut inside the headlamp shell. Picture for clarity:

Rubber grommet on the h/l bracket omitted 'coz I couldn't pull it out without probably damaging it.
I just bought these rubber grommets and plastic collars - Yamaha NOS. Put it all together and it don't fit. First problem, the hollow bolt is too thick to pass through the plastic sleeve. Second problem, even if it did, it would be too short - there wouldn't be any thread to attach the inner nut.
I note that in CMSnl parts list the hollow bolt, part no 2418336709, is quoted as 62 mm long but the ones on my bike are shorter, about 58 mm.
Perhaps I should but 2 x hollow bolts full length and drill the plastic collars to let them through but I wonder if anybody knows what the correct parts are?
