Stupid Stupid Question..

Postby mr toyless » Thu Nov 22, 2007 3:29 pm

A while ago some knob stole both of my front indicator lenses and the screws that hold them in..

Anyway, long story short, I've got some replacement lenses but no screws to go with them.. So my question is - where abouts in CHC do you get automotive nuts and bolts from..?

I must say I'm feeling exceedingly stupid in not knowing this..

Car is an '85 Honda City, has the indicators on the bumper..

There is no pickapart in Christchurch. I would try maybe AllCars first, then if you get desperate Strong Brothers Honda down Waltham road, but be warned they're heinously overpriced. I paid $5 for a normal, single 8cm-ish long suspension bolt because I was desperate! Otherwise there is a place in town that deals in fasteners, try in the phone book. :)

Alternatively I can just use 6g x 42mm GIB screws.. :lol:

Not sure if it will be a lond term solution, but it'll do for now!!
