[QUOTE="Jez Nemeth, post: 129095, member: 3871"] Did the same Nigel on the hubs, with my level of myopia never tell the difference, everything looks good! With SS If you want that polished look just grind the id marks off the bolt head's surface, stick each bolt in a drill, forget lathe, smooth off against a file and levels of graded paper - only 5 mins each -shine like chrome. Make all my own bolts out of metric ones, they're already the right shape, turn down and use old W/BSF taps/die to taste (plenty of sets on ebay) and finish off as above. There are so many bolts needed on a Vin that the saving is significant and worth doing where possible and time permitting. If not, the VOC Spares co sell stuff that is considered quality to my experience, there are several others of course...best jez [/QUOTE]
