Fair comment Phil
I am just going by personal experience but yes, a rivet pack may just be one step too far !!
I have quite a large range of assorted fixings at my disposal .... But for the life of me, could I find the right fixings when it came to bolting my diff plates & steering column on .... No not on your nelly & ended up using M12X40 set bolts as a temporary measure.
The same thing happend when it came to looking for some large flat washers ( The penny type ), every size here but M12
Bolts are so,so much cheaper when bought in bulk & it would be wise to look at the main bolts that an average build would definately need at some point !!??
All about saving a few pennies for mysef & helping others in the process
