Stainless stuff apparently for Falco.

Any recommendations?

Lol, I know what you mean about the sneaky post, I'm doing it now.

Looks like a nice box of bits, almost worth it just to restock the nut and bolt bucket every year :)

No way I can compete with that. They must order thousand of pounds worth of stock to be able to sell at those prices :smt009

Certainly looks like a bargain.

Not a bad price for stainless.. Even thought its the cheaper 304 stuff! Doubt i'd be able to get anywhere near that from my local fastener place.. And they're pretty blasé on price at the best of times..lol..

Fukkit.. Buyin some! :smt003

i bought a pack when rebuilding the bike and struggled to fing enough bolts to build up the casings on the engine, ended up some stainless and some origional, plenty of bolts in the kit just alot of wrong sizes. its cheap for a reason, think they just guess the sizes and throw a bag or two in a box and send it!

from my own personal view I avoid anyone who has feedback like http://feedback.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI ... egative_30

kinda paints a picture, regardless of the thousands whove got what theyve asked for and gave + feedback.

Sods law dictates you will get the shitty end of the stick when it comes to your order. :smt012

The fact the feedback is consistent, not inconsistent puts me off.

Neutral feedback isnt to healthy either.

hmm.. think i'll leave it then.. Although they're in Oldbury, which isn't too far away, so could always nip over if any problems rise.. :smt027
