Afternoon all, looking to tidy my mish mash of fixings up with some shiny new bits.

Can anyone tell me if the fixings are M8 or M6 ?? Screwfix do some nice stainless bolts and i can get anodised washers from pro-bolt, so just wanted to ensure I get the correct size.

Thanks

Why not get them all from Pro-bolt?

The panel behind the rad and infront of the engine.

There are two types (according to age I think)

The earlier one I more curvy...



The later one is very flat....

just changed dozens of rusty nuts and bolts. used a little company called apex fasteners in slough, seemed to have everything in stock with loads of different head types and material grade. very good value too. don't seem to have a website but they come up in google. Problem with some of the chains is their bolts are not made from the best materials and you want to make sure you have the right tensile rating. if you buy a stainless bolt and it can hold it's own weight with ease on a magnet you know it's going to be rubbish quality.

Not really an issue for holding on small bits of fibreglass in non-critical applications though... biggrin

Which is why I go for Pro-Bolt aluminium colour coded pncey stuff!
