The nuts!
The nuts!
So I’m looking to replace a number of nuts and bolts while putting the rear suspension back together and nearly <beep> my pants when I was quoted £2.5 per nut (N90635001)! I know it’s peanuts in the grand scheme of things but I hate feeling like I’m being taken for a ride.
Am I right in thinking these nuts are just M12 x 1.5 hex collar nuts? I can get these for around 40p per item. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t take these over the OEM?

Re: The nuts!

Re: The nuts!
Use a good after-market supplier for non-specific fasteners.
I use a local fastener specialist or Westfield and Bolt Base for anything they don't stock.

Westfield have a good reference section too

Re: The nuts!
Thanks guys, great sites.
For those of us that aren’t as clued up as most on here about the specifics of nuts and bolts, I found this site an education.
