What are the plastic covered nuts called

[Spare tyre]

If I wanted to buy some more of the plastic parts with bits inside, what are they called

Helping a friend with a project and we need to make a few more of what is seen in the kit (need to make larger versions)

Square u bolts and plates seem easy to work out, just having a brain fart on the black bits

They look like the fixings for bike racks/roofboxes.

Yar they are pretty much that,

[Drumroll]

Saw a video the other day where somebody had used an oversize socket (for the nut) but an appropriate size nut inside the socket then filled the gap with hot melt glue. once it had cooled they took it out of the socket and had a knurled nut

Look at RS components web site, search threaded handles, they’ve got all types.
