    I think...

    I think you are looking for acorn nuts...... Get them at mitre 10. They are the chrome nuts with the dome end.....

    Ask the kids...they pick up shiny things...I was overhauling the brakes on a car one day and my 8 year old son picked up the springs from the brake shoes and took them out in the garden while I was having lunch!!!!

    Law of lost tools

    I'm sorry to have to say that this follow's Rupert's law of lost tools. Basically, the law of lost tools states that only when you replace it will you find it. It really is quite true. So, replace the part, even if it costs $100 for an original from Honda. Then, it magically will just turn up. Well, it works for me. I suppose you could keep the receipt ...

    Mental Image I have is chrome zeus bolts with a big pan head on em.
    So why not just use a couple of M5 bolts with ZP washers ?

    I do. Just because I hate sayings like that.
    If it wasn't for a concise set of rules, we might have to resort to common sense!
