Odd little parts

[alastair]

I had to change my brake pad retaining split pins today. Nowhere I went had any. I was told of a place called nuts and bolds on winterstoke road in weston. They had what i needed. By the sounds of things they have alot of fixings and fasteners.

Their website is www.nuts-and-bolts.co.uk

I haven't looked on it so cant say if they have their catalogue on there or not.

Hope this helps someone.

What size split pins do you need? I've got a few different sizes

I was after 3 inch long ones. I got them at nuts and bolts yesterday. Thanks for the offer though!!

Anyone else know of any good places that may be of help to others who need to get "unusual" parts for their cars?
Maybe we could strt a new thread and make a list if there isnt one already?
