something just snapped

Forgot to add:

Important! Don't remove all of the glue from under the gutter or your bonnet might not fit. I had >3mm of it under there and it kept the hinge at the right height for the shims I had.

Quick google shows M5 Ti bolts at $5 each!

I'd stick with Stainless for that price!

You wouldn't imagine the things that were 'thrown out' from BAe and ended up in my shed

Try the oil business. Knew a guy that rescued five unused Mocal oil coolers from the skip at his work (complete with HP fittings and all). Queried with his boss why they were throwing out £250 coolers. Turned out the invoice was well over $1000 a pop.

Wouldn't have been so bad but the vendor didn't even change the part number before they ramped the price up...

That little mod doubled the price of a few cars round Aberdeen
