I can get stainless and titanium fixings and fasteners, let me know what sizes you need and I'll run up a quote for you.

Prompted me to do a bit of searching, & found this stockist - prices look reasonable, although the site doesn't say anything about a minimum order value

Slight hijack - can someone tell me what the name is of those little caps with springy tabs that one pushes into the hex sockets of socket screws, in order to prettify them? Better still would be a supplier.

Also, where can I get grease nipples for my knees?
did you order them ? and are they any good.I need to replace mine as they look a little corroded. Which ones are they in the list ?

No, haven't ordered any yet - got to remove what needs replacing, to measure.
Anyway, it wouldn't be very friendly, would it, to disregard our own dear Nooj's range of goodies?

You can get alot of the sizes off the 'tasty nuts' website, they list them by bike by area, like Falco, then drill down to front caliper pinch bolts , mounting bolts etc.etc.
Copy, past (to Nooj) job done!
