Want to fit these to GS

Ok so i think i have a trapedoid spacerx2. But on the rail itself each mounting hole has a spacer with a collar on, and one is missing!

I rang bmw no spacer with collar showing on parts list?! Advice here and confirmed by bmw, bolts to go thru the back of the rail are m6x35 and wait for it....£10 each WTF

Any suggestions where i get one of these missing collars (shown on photo) from as its not clear if its a system rail part so not available seperately , the other stuff i think i can find on ebay. £10 for a bolt suggests maybe that includes the collar.

Suspect no one has been daft enough to buy these parts from bmw but thought I would ask !
Many Thanks.

You will need a Flanged Bush, otherwise known as a "Top hat bush".

Someone with a lathe could make you one easily.

You have a bush which you could use as a pattern to take measurements from.

Try searching they may be a standard size easily available.
