Sorry, haven't been able to get online all week. The bolts arrived on Wednesday and I'm nearly done packaging them all up. It takes a while counting out all the items in each kit and placing all the washers, nuts and caps on each bolt and I've had work too.

I will be posting them out Tuesday/Wednesday

Edit: I'm still waiting to hear from mr-p about payment. I've sent PM's but had no reply and I can't send him an email because he's has chosen not receive them from forum members. Does anyone have a way to contact him outside of the forum? It seems his last post on the forum was the one confirming he wanted a kit.

Have you tried weighing one bolt, washer and cap and then multiplying that number by the amount you need and just forming the kits that way?

I thought of that but I was talked out of it. My dad thinks there would be too much variation on the weight of each bit due to manufacturing tolerances. I'm not so sure, they can't be that different to each other.

The deciding factor for me was not having any scales to hand
