Nuts and Bolts

[fezza]

Is there a place people use to buy these,i want to re-new every nut and bolt on the front of my car and was wondering if theres a place i can get them all from rather than buying the odd one from here and there,i thank you

[borneo]

I've got a load for my Capri recently from a local fastening shop. They're not always exactly the same and they can't supply everthing but it's a place to start

[fezza]

Hmmm.i did think about trying that but i was hopeing that someone would just be able to supply the lot,you'd think someone would be selling them in sets by now

[antz]

theres a few people on ebay who sell sets of bolts etc etc.

 

i bought a full xflow bolt set and full strut top set off ebay

[fezza]

I'll check that out Antz

If you are in the North Kent area, try Barnket at Gravesend. They have a hugh range of bolts in lots of sizes and types at very good prices. very helpfull guys.

sand blast your old ones, grease up the threads and paint the heads

 

dunno nout everyone else but i save every nut/bolt and screw i ever remove from cars and keep them all in a big pot. you can always find what you want in there
