Stainless fasteners

[gadget1960]

Just a bit of info for anyone that's interested really.
Just by sheer luck I found a tool supplier just outside of Canterbury today called ... Invictor tools and fixings, curiosity got the better of me so I popped in, they sell the usual kind of stuff for garages and repair shops etc, the thing that interested me was ... they sell every conceivable size allen screw / nuts / bolts / washers etc in stainless steel, so while I was there I borrowed a tool to remove the bolts that fasten the front of the air filter to the slam panel and bought 3 identical size bolts and washers in T304 stainless steel for the princely sum of ... £1.20 !! result eh! I shall be paying them another visit with a list as long as my arm for all the under bonnet fixings and whatever else I can find.

You cant beat a helpful fastener supplier, I will have to locate one in Norfolk, I miss the one we used in Lincolnshire.

Exactly that mate, these guys were more than helpful despite the fact I bought less than a couple of quids worth.
They also said all I had to do was either bring the car in or just the fixings and they would supply the bits 'like for like' while I waited.
How good is that!

That's what you need, too many places these days just want to sell you anything and take the cash, good on them I say.

Hi, excellent find!


It would be good to make a list of all the relevant bolts etc that you replace (inc model of your car) and prices for other members to order from them - if ththat company do mail order at all?



Just a thought - many folk on here would like to upgrade some of the rustier bolts etc now I would think!?
thanks.

Hi, not going in again until after the silly season but when I do i'll ask them for relevant info.
Maybe a 'complete bolt kit' for certain areas of the car like ... engine dress up, cam covers and the like.

If you want the sizes for the bolts for the engine bay then have a look at one of my older threads
