Wellnuts (well nuts)

Moto Guzzi Quota 1000 and Quota 1100 ES models

Wellnuts are those rubberized mounting nuts that secure the front of the fairing to the fairing sides. They are also used to secure the small lower bug screen to the fairing sides. Moto Guzzi uses 5 mm Wellnuts at all of these connection points.

Many of my Wellnuts have deteriorated and come apart.

While inch-sized Wellnuts are readily available from Ace Hardware or McMaster-Carr, metric sized are extremely difficult to find. I found a source for replacements online at Desmo Parts.
