Alternative suppliers for new undertray fixings

Post by r055 » Sun Mar 11, 2012 2:48 pm

I'm too much of a pikey to buy this... http://www.eliseparts.com/products/show ... -bolt-kit/

But I'm after several new undertray fixings... Stainless steel would be ideal, but not essential. Not made of cheese either!

Does anyone have a shopping list of these fixings (sizes etc)?
And where can I purchase them?

It would be good to know the 'spec' of the fasteners that make up the set. I think I lost a few over the last year, I'd like to have a few in the tool kit and replace some of the more tired ones.

I've just spent 2 hours trying to get the rear under tray off... All fixings corroded to buggery and just spinning. There is no fecking way that tray has been off twice in 2 years for my mot... Although I paid for it. :roll:

Now for the fun and games of trying to remove the old cat!

Even the ones at the front?

I should have enough for one or two sets for S1s, but the fronts are into a thread in the sills I think?

No the rear ones that screw into the rear clam. Need new clips for them as well

I posted a while back about Dzus quarter turn quick release jobbies. Didn't cost that much.
