Surprises continue!


Turns out only the first of four CV boot kits I got from Busdepot has the new multipoint/XZN bolts. When I was reassembling the second CV I found the good old 6mm Allen bolts in the box. Quickly opened package 3 and 4; those have Allen bolts also. I don't want to mount my CV's with mixed mostly Allen and a few XZN, so I guess I will just reuse 6 of my old bolts for now.


Lesson learned: Open all your parts boxes and check contents before starting project...


Anyone else have the same experience?


Martin (and '82 Westy 1.9TD "Poppie")
