This was a complete fail of a weekend working on the Mini. Got nothing of note done and now the Mini has no brakes.

Judging by the number of classic cars I've seen cruising around this weekend, I think the DLVA will be rolling in it... lol

Given up with eBay, ordered a quantity of imperial plain nuts/nylocs and get sent the correct sizes/quantity, but in washers and wants me to pay for returns (no ******* chance). Looks like I’ll be refitting my suspension back together the old rusty/crusty fixings.

Steve220 - it was massiveattack007.
And I thought having to cut down some 5/16" unf flywheel housing to block bolts to replace my rotten tie bar bolts, as none of the ones available are suitable (don't have the correct length shank)was going to be the pita.

All mine were late and were UNC. I emailed to tell them they'd got a £80 fastener order totally wrong and they just gave me my money back. I go with Kay fasteners now.

As much as it sucks for you I'll say thanks for the warning... I'll be sure to go with kays
