nuts and bolts

[marco2002]

Just went into peugeot dealer today to order nuts and bolts for rear shocks (bottom part) and also some new nuts and bolts for the rear anti roll bar bushes. Guess what? They only supply them in bags of 5 or 10? So you end up paying over the odds for a couple of nuts and bolts! Anyone else come across this before? I'll just have to re-use the nuts and bolts on the bottom of the rear shocks clean them up and use a bit of nutlock on the threads. I was hoping to get a new set of nuts and bolts for the roll bar bushes sounds like they have a tendency to shear off if you're a bit unlucky.....

50 mile round trip to that stealer this morning what a waste of time!

Reminds me of hot dogs come in tins of 10, hot dog buns come in bags of 6.
Sorry, I'm not helping am I?!

Been watching the Bulletproof Monk again?

You should be able to get that sort of thing from an ironmongers, the questions are they up to the task?

Just have to hope none of the nuts or bolts shear off. lol
Been looking around on the net for some reasonably priced rear shocks think i've found them £32 each inc vat and free delivery. cheapest i've found even ebay is dearer.

just a quick update. went to nut & bolt shop today they matched up a new set of bolts for the grand sum of £1.50. look exactly the same as the originals
and high tensile as well. just goes to show what a rip off dealers are.....

quite a lot of pug parts are like that

I had a wheel arch liner missing off mine, and bought new one from stealer.
Only it had an access panel missing - thing is about 5 to 6" long and 2 to 3" wide
Was told could only buy them in pack of 5!!!

Note to oneself - must keep eye out for one

Back end on my 406 shimmys about a little bit. Got the roll bar bushes sitting here and will be getting droplinks and those arms as well. Hasn't been done for about 4 years so i think that could sort out the problem. Just hope the bolts come out easy probably have soak the whole lot in wd40 the night before having a go.

drop links came off ok, i put full tin of wd40 on track arms over 3 days and they wouldnt move im looking to change anti rollbar bushes as mot just around the corner
