Has anyone tried this as I'm thinking it'll work out a lot cheaper than pins (mainly for the front), and if you have does it work well and what size do you need? (it's for a ht1)

thanks

Jamie

The bolts pinch the a and b bulkhead together witch stress the mounting screws but there no stronger than the pins Wink

Hi Jamie,
The best thing to do and works out really cheap, is have look in the RS.com and buy the 6mm key steel and if you have a dremal with the thin grinding disc, cut to size and grind a groove for the C clip, put it in a drill and turn over slowly and you don't have to take that much out to get a clip on.

Could be worth a go, not sure how accurate and close to a real pin I could get them though, and RS.com just brings up a software company?

Can't imagine that would go too well...... Laughing (Last weekend my car didn't get far enough to crash, it just looked at the track and broke). Mind you, I'm sure you'll get out the way a bit quicker now that you've got a new car Shocked

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll stick to wishbone pins for the moment.
