1984mini25

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.

Anyone in the Telford and Wrekin area able to collect a renault megane Shell and take it to the scrappy? Whatever you make is yours. V5 must be dealt with properly

    Use removemycar.co.uk. They gave me the best price for mine (as in, paid me for the car, and collected it for free).

    Cheers. I've tried them. Not sure if they will actually take it though as it's just a shell. Backup plan is a reciprocating saw, mate rob and works van for the weekend.
