Right as I've had a posative resonse to this I'm going to go ahead with organising the group buy.

The bolts included in the buy will be

Unbrako Socket Capscrews Low Head Self Colour METRIC Ref: pg395a
Low Headed Self Colour Socket Cap Screws
To British Standard BS4168 - Grade 10.9
Metric Coarse Thread
UNBRAKO - The Worlds Best Socket Screws

The sizes provided are:

2x M10x70mm
6x M10x50mm

BoltDimension's


The cost of the Bolts works out at £4 for the set of 8 and I reckon P&P will be round £1.50. Due to the 100 min order we really need to shift 50 sets due to the 2x70mm bolt however if we get to 30 set i'll prob go ahead and sit on the rest and do another group buy at a later date.

time to start a list, please fill in twice if you want more than one set to keep it simple.

they are only 4 quid a set from Lotus, it is really worth a group buy. (10.9 etc etc)

But equally my nearest Lotus dealer is 40 miles away and when I was last passing denied all knowledge that uprated bolts existed

Sometimes it's worth paying for a little convenience.

[JG]

The point is they are not 'uprated', lotus always used the 10.9s on the elise.

Anything for an easy life. If this means I don't have to leave my desk, I'll have a set: 1.rabidh 2.mikemph 3.mikemph 4.snoopstah 5.snoopstah 6.snoopstah 7.rabidh 8.guy182 9.weirdjam 10.Nevsta 11.Nevsta 12.Tom 13.Tom 14.PaulS 15.h8ten 16.ronbot 17.ManderinVX 18.Anarchy 19.Oblomov 20.Gouldy

Ahh, that might be where I went wrong then!

The general consensus duing dutchmike's group buy was that if you removed and replaced the bolt one at a time it shouldn't alter the geo, but there's no garrentee. The best option is to obviously replace them in conjunction with doing the geo.

[snoopstah]

I don't really see how it can knock out the geo if the existing bolts are tight - one bolt should be more than enough to hold the alignment rock-solid with the car jacked up, so as said if you remove and replace one at a time it should be fine.

Fluidslvr Well it looks like we've got the 30 I said we needed for me to order the bolts, I'll sort out the order next week when I get back from Switzerland. Suppose I should set up a paypal account so that people can pay me or would people rather send cheques?
