Part Locator: Rear Light Housing Nut '97 Z3

[JESFromASC]

The plastic "nut" that should be holding the passenger side rear light assembly doesn't tighten down anymore.
Can you buy a new "nut" or is there a fix of some kind?
Can't be good for the bulbs being lose all the time.
Thanks

No, I'm in the US.
Thanks for the offer though!
Think I'll go the Steveo7682 route and see if I can't create a fix for myself.
I haven't fully pulled it all apart to see my options.
