Even trying to get the 5/8"-16x12" grade 8 bolts here was a chore,hence the reason I opted for McMaster Carr in the USA,once again my pal in Va. came to the rescue with shipping. (I sure have had a lot of strange 'gifts' from her...) grin
Shipping as a "gift,value under $50" avoids too much tax and other shennanigans,although it still cost $32 just to get them here....

Every time I think things are finally going well the dang thing bites me on the bum.(again!)

Since my redundancy the truck has been my daily.

As you probably know I've had my fair share of suspension gremlins and have now found the banjo fitting on the front calipers are touching the airsprings on full steering lock. (I'll ask about that in the Hi-Po forum though.)

To use another Scottish expression "I'm just aboot scunnered wi' it!" cry
