Abstract

A metal nut (N) is held by a plastic clip-body (12). The clip-body (12) has a first arm, a second arm and an open end that includes a cam section for camming a member into the open end. It also includes an annular locator wall that extends upwardly from the second arm of the clip-body. The upper end of this locator wall is formed to slope upwardly as it extends inwardly from the open end of the clip-body. The sloping upper end of the locator wall helps to cam the member into the clip--body. The first arm has a transverse end section (15) and sidewalls that extend upwardly from the first arm between the end section (15) and the free end of the first arm.
