As the thread size is a little alien to me M6 etc. wondered if you could help me out.

All the bolts/nuts in the engine bay on my RA are rusty and ****e. I can't remember who but someone changed all of them and did a little spraying off certain parts on his blue classic and it looked the

Is there any kit you can buy of assorted bits and pieces or have I got to source exactly what I need

Help please....

Somewhere like fastfix would be a good bet. You probably want set screws though not bolts

They'd look good if you could find anodised ones. Well, imho

I usually go to a bolt and nut stockist found via www.yell.com.

They will sell me bolts, screws, socket headed bolts, washers etc etc, all in stainless.
I've also had larger, aka "penny" washers in the smaller sizes from http://www.stainlessmiddleton.co.uk/ very helpful and more sizes than local.

AFAIK, there is no KIT, and be careful not to replace any high torque bolts with stainless, it's too soft and will shear. I tend to coat high torque bolts with copper slip after replacing with new 8.8 high tensile steel.

No probs, just doing some on mine, and repainting various brackets etc with Hammerite Smooth Black.

I've some VERY interesting top hat washers/sleeves to make on the lathe too.....I just need some free-turning stainless and I'm away. (They are to hold the cambelt cover in place).
