Yeah Mark, im the one in the group that is the tight crack, not you. ITS MY JOB to be the winging one

Hey, im looking at getting the bolts for my blocks, maybe JC can get us 20 for a good price???

thanks Carlos, not a bad idea. I dont need them (or afford them) just yet, but will do in a couple of months.

I dont mind spending a hundred smackers on HT bolts, was just looking for a cheaper yet just as strong alternative.

when ae you doing your BL mate, will help out of needed. I did my disco on my own so i aint that hard a job but a second set of hands is good

what size were they Pete?

arnt they only Grade 8.8 M10 130mm

should cost around $1.50-$2.00 each inc nyloc nut

Michael.

Thinking maybe to get some in the next fortnight and do the lift then. I was going to post up a thread asking for helping hands, particularly those like you and Pete who have the knowledge.

Just rang supplier

m10 x 130 bolt $1.41 each
Nyloc $0.12 each

I rang this afternoon and price m10 x 150 and they said $4.40 including nyloc.
Still seems expensive compared to HSVRangies' price.

Cheers

I think I'll follow up this lead on Monday.
