    Dan, quite a few of the bolts are still available from Ford, before you agree to the plating, price up new ones

        what 250 quid when i done mine Dave i got all stainless allen head etc from a tool & plant supplier in my home town for 7 euro thats less than 5 pounds, plus they where alot stronger than the bolts that where in it, i cant remember the correct term for the strength of a bolt but you know what i mean.. good god 250 i will say he did me a favour as it was only 4 of this 2 of this etc etc, and i do get abit of stuff off him every other week.

            I dont realy want new ones, as it will take forever for my local ford guy to find them all, much easier imo to get the old ones re coated!

              I am about to do the same Dan. There is local business to me that will do them for me....buit it is through my work. I will have to keep taking them in small batches though - and try and keep a tab on which ones are which..
