I looked at the old bolts I was about to use and thought new ones would be a better option.
Very helpful chap at Thomas Smith Fasteners in Wigan, he found 5/16 x 7/8 for me, he said
as it was a small thing it was not worth making an order for. He was happy to send out in
the post for me FOC and suggested that I may make a donation to a local charity.
Just brilliant that people can be so helpful and trusting!

Oh Dear indeed Nick!!!
Well, after that, and in view of your new tag line, I offer you the motto of the French maritime marine;
"A l`eau, c`est l`heure!"
PS Will you ever get that old car finished?

Re: Old Bolts
Nick, very sincere apologies. I obviously have my Nicks in a twist!
Re: Old Bolts
I must resist the temptation to comment on Terry's twisted Nicks. One day I'll grow up, I just hope not too soon!

Re: Old Bolts
Speaking as the other 'twisted Nick' I must say my wife would totally sympathise with the originator of Nick De Ath's tag line. (Mrs De Ath?)
I started the restoration of this....
...in 1963 - and the shot was taken last year!

Re: Old Bolts
Cracking job, though, Nick! Obviously being a bit twisted hasn`t affected your skills.
