[QUOTE="BigEd, post: 112191, member: 161"] In most towns the UK we have hardware stores such as Screwfix and Toolstation that stock nut bolts, screws, etc. You can buy, for instance, 6mm stainless nyloc nuts for less than 4 pence each in a bags of 100. I usually buy stainless nuts, bolts and washers like this so I always have some "in stock". You won't find any Imperial threads such as BSF or Cycle but quite a few bolts on a Vincent can be replaced cheaply with stainless metric. If I need stainless Imperial I get them at Classic shows or autojumbles where there are usully several stalls selling, at a premium, this kind of hardware. I hope I don't get drummed out of the club for using metric or stainless fixing on my Rapide. :eek:Following this revelation, I will be hiding behind the settee if I hear the originality Gestapo banging on my door.;) [/QUOTE]

The Series 'A' Rapide was known as the '********' Nightmare?
