Does anyone know what nuts bolts etc are needed for the wishbones? I assumed they would all come with it but was wrong so need to go shopping and cant do anything to it which is annoying Its all good Chris (ZXRlocost) is on it for me!!

if your going nut & bolt shopping i'd reconmend a place behind B&Q warehouse in coventry.

(this is about to be a really useful post as i can't remember hte name of hte place for the life of me).

They used to be the nut and bolt supplier for Caterham and are nice blokes to talk to (unless they're really busy).

do a search in yell and they should come up.

I think in retrospect i would have been better going up and buying direct from MNR instead of buying through Chris (zxrlocost)


I hope that was considerably cheaper than MNR's starter kit then, because there's a lot of bolts on this kit list (as well as a load of other bits!)

I found Go-Fixings in Hinckley helpful and reasonable priced with good stock availability or next5 day to order.
Good luck with the build, hope to see you round very soon

I think you'll be better of getting them from MNR that way you will get the complete set including the spacers as mentioned above, going to be hard to get these from anywhere else. Don't know what deal you did with them but they are usually included in the kit.

think the kit came through chris darby ( bec owners ) as that is the only kit that has left us today,
If that is the case the std kit spec sheet was marked no nuts and bolts + a few other things

hope that clears up the confusion

cheers

Good luck !!

My mnr kit arrived 2 weeks ago today ! We are almost at the rolling chassis stage and just waiting on some more nuts and bolts and the body tub will be on. I hasten to add that this has not been worked on flat out as we have been waiting for some fiddly parts that really hampered us when we should have got cracked on at easter. Chris and Marc have been very helpful so far ! We are starting the electrics next week. We are really impressed with the kit though and quality of chasssis.

Happy mnr'ing !

Bob
