Might be some help to some of the people who just bought clear front indicators;

After fitting my new indicators I got a little paranoid as they looked great but could be nicked in about 20 seconds. So I took one of the bolts to a nut and bolt specialist who has sold me a set of tamperproof bolts and security allen type key. Cost me about £4.20 inc vat( small price considering how much new indicators cost) but he said he would have done it a bit cheaper if I'd bought a bulk lot.

The bolts I got were for a pre 97 model (don't know if later ones are different bolts, anyone enlighten me) and if anyone wants a set and can't find any, e-mail me and I'll see what sort of discount they are prepared to give

If you just want to know what size the new bolt are: M6 x 20

This isn't an advert, I just thought I could save some of your moaning when your new indicators get nicked, but obviously I should have said "My cars faster than yours" I might have got some response then

Oh well, mine are safe

Charlie,

Any chance of the details of the supplier ?

Thanks

Gavin

Gavin, it's just a local nut and bolt supplier in Bradford that the company I work for have used on occasion - It's called Bradford Bolt and Nut if it's any help.

Its hard to believe that a fellow scooby driver would tamper with your pride and joy but it does happen. Some scumbag in a Silver WRX (I saw him driving away) nicked my clear side repeaters from the Balmoral Ave area in Belfast.
Fcukin' To$$er!!

Hi Charlie,
I wish someone told me about this!!!
I have now rerouted my indicators to the side light as my front indicators got nicked!!!
I have now been told about this after they got nicked from a friend of mine.

These nuts & bolts could be a new item for the Scoobynet shop? Save individuals searching them out.

Anyone know if MY99 has different size bolts/screws?

Cheers

Jaysus!
things are bad enough with the nova boys whipping stuff without fellow scoob drivers doing so as well

Who's to say to say they would? Could just be lowlifes nicking them to sell on to unsuspecting buyers. Personaly I always try to make sure the seller is legit.
I think that selling them through scoobyshop is a great idea. Who would I approach about this?

Tamperproof bolts and bits are available from RS Electronics... I have a shedload of the bolts, but only one set of the bits so its rather useless offering to post 'em out.
