[andy jb]

What is the best supply source for o/e nut/bolts new replacements for springs & dampers ?

Any decent fastener place should have them ~ just 7/16 UNF IIRC. Lengths vary a little, grades are stamped on the bolt heads, so take a sample to match.

7/16 is for the wishbones, the dampers are all 1/2" UNF.

just go to www.tvrextras.co.uk

As for any decent fastener having them... they are becoming harder to source in ones and twos as most of the suppliers will only ship in 100s.

Some of them I have to have specially ordered/made these days.

Hmm. A site which hooks the "back" button. I don't normally ever go to those again.

You lost me,
Can you explain?
Just for the record i bought a bolt pack from these and they were spot on.

I also don't really understand Zumbruk's comment but certainly with Mac and PC browsers it does not hook the back button.
Mind you, I seem to remember that he does use a UNIX workstation so maybe that browser behaves differently.

BTW PH will open a new window which means that for that window there is no back as it it effectively is a new start.
The URL is then transferred to the real site which is encrypted and secure.
In fact the whole site is accessed in such a way so that there is no unencrypted access or information.
All the information and documentation is held in this encrypted way to ensure the highest protection.

This was also a requirement of my credit card processing company who actually audited the site before allowing me to use their services.

I use stainless ones and had no problem getting them 4 at a time of whatever. Also worth using stainless areo-tight nuts. It means you can be sure they are well locked on without tightening to the point where you are squashing the flanges in around the damper bushes. If you cant get stainless, make sure you use grade 12.9 or higher.

Unless you are a mechanical/structural engineer or material scientist I would advise avoiding stainless (so called :spit::spit fixings for anything that is subject to loads. Mild steel has certain advantageous properties - it bends instead of failing.
