Dennis Thanks much for the reply & info ~ which quite oddly did not show up in my InBox Via Vanagon@Gerry ~ 1st I saw of it was on the TailEnd of Scotts reply ~ Those are indeed PriceyLittlePuppys ~ I don't think I'll be having any of those in my SparePartsBox any time soon. I did manage to find this source which is considerably cheaper than what Scott found but still pricey ~ http://www.brickwerks.co.uk/index.php/collet-t3-front-damper-lower-bolt.html The 1/2In Bolts&Nuts&Washers that I used on the LowerControlArm are Grade8 & the 9/16In B's&N's&W's on the LowerShockMounts are F911s ~ The BoltHouse had them in the Box with the Grade8s & didn't seem to know there was a diff' so I think I lucked out on that find. ORR ~ DeanB
