Not to be a killjoy on all this, but I am steadily changing as many nuts and bolts to SS as I can.
I simply take the originals to my ever patient chappy at my local propwe iron mongers (Rothwells in rochdale)
AND HE GOES INTO THE BACK AND BRINGS THEM OUT TO ME, EVEN IF i WANT ONE OFFS!!

He then looks at me and if I want alot he charges a fiver, if I want a few he charges me nothing!!!

Though I am sure he does not do all the fancy ones

I'm just embarking on a wastegate porting project, having fitted the Peco exhaust two years ago and lived with boost creep for all that time! I've now got a garage and a company car, so the job has now become much more feasible!

I've just ordered a Piper PCE, every bolt, nut and stud in sight is soaking in WD40 and replacing the relevant fixings with stainless seems to be the sensible thing to do at this stage. So, which set of fixings will I need and what's the current availability & cost?

Many thanks!

Ben

Last call for orders.........

Hi!

I would need a WSS... Too late or not? If not, how long would it take to be made and shipped?

Last last call for orders of the WSS.

[GeoffSmith]

WSS ordered!

I have also asked for prices for some stainless bleed nipples for my Wilwoods, as last years were corroded to buggery. I don't know how expensive (and we need eight!) they are going to be but is anyone else interested?

[HJ2]

Heh heh heh... Since my order i spent the reserved money for this allready a couple of times (the elan's eating money of course...)
Oh hell, bring on the bling!

Don't forget the allready delivered, but not yet paid turbo stuts!
I'd hate to be in debt...

[dapinky]

WSS ordered!

Is there an estimate on delivery?

My turbo is in bits on the workbench and I want to put it back together

(I did ask by PM about a month ago and got no answer )

If it is iminent, I'll wait - if it is going to be a short while, I'll use normal bolts for now and replace them in due course.

[GeoffSmith]

Should be in next week Dave, I'll bring them to CC (and a set for Phil to replace the ones he sent to HJ).

Right, who else still wants them?

[dapinky]

Should be in next week Dave, I'll bring them to CC

Oh, okay......



....I'll walk to CC then


(no problem, I'll put it back together with normal M8 studding for now & then swap them!)

[GeoffSmith]

....I'll walk to CC then

Angie's driving that bad then?

Not at all, but have you ever tried to get 4 people into one elan.....

(unless it's one like Gareth has got)

[GeoffSmith]

They're in! Delayed by my stainless nipples apparently.

Now, apart from Phil and Pinky, who else wanted the wastegate stud sets?

[GeoffSmith]

Wastegate stud set batch #2 still only £20:
1. Dapinky
2. SurferPhil - HJ2 to pay!
3. Deeaitch
4. marcus_uk ??
5. spare

[HJ2]

guilty!

Just let me know when and how to pay

[GeoffSmith]

Possible WSS GB if there's enough interest. Price (hopefully £20-£25) will be dependent on numbers.
