I took the bolts off our TF & measured them up then ordered them from Stigs Bolts I went for flanged hex head I got torx button head for one of our previous TFs & wasn't keen on them. Anytime I order any stainless bolts/screws I order a few extra I've got quiet a good selection now.

I attempted to do the lock/latch plate screws this weekend - left hand side one came out no problems - the other gave some resistance, a loud creak and didn't want to go anywhere, so put the old one back in and double checked the bonnet latch was lining up properly before closing the bonnet. :woowoo:

Exothermic cutting lance, and not only will the stuck bolts be gone in no time.....so will the rest of the bloody car!

Got a couple of these, they're not at all practical for working on cars but they are bloody good fun! They will cut through metal, concrete, anything!
