Taillight adjuster sleeves

Hello everyone
I'm installing a set of clear taillights on my 2008 v8v and the kit didn't com with the 2 updated adjuster sleeves as my older ones have a different thread that goes into the taillight. I am pretty disappointed with aston martin bits for not including them. I tried reaching out to Rich at redpants but his shipments are all backed up. I have everything disassembled and I'm stuck. Does any have a pair of these by any chance? Thanks

Never mind guys, DIY solution. M6 bolt cut off the head and seat with a nut. No need to buy the $20 bolt from aston.
sorry for the pool panic

Thank you. I really didn't want to put my old taillights back and wait a month to get the bolt. I had to put my thinking cap on.
