My car is in for a cambelt change and this is what they have found:

Lucy, we have encountered a problem. Upon removing the Cambelt covers (there are 2) there are some of the captive nuts which are housed in the backing plates, which are broken. This means that these backing plates will need replacing. I have had an estimate of £30 each (there are 2), but it is not clear yet whether the covers will need replacing too (similar price). I didn’t want to go any further with stripping the parts off as that would render the car immobile and Subaru want 2-3 days to order the parts (unless they can be bought from somewhere 2nd hand?). As it stands, it may be possible to re-assemble the car, order the parts, then tackle it at a later date.

Just want to say thank you to the last garage who done my cambelt change, you know who you are.

Any one know where I could get these from?

Any help/advice welcome.
