Not really with my Series but for the two of them.

7.5 kilograms of the most commonly used fixings freshly sherardized ...

So from now on, whenever there's something to unscrew and attach, I'll have the proper nut or bolt at hand - properly sherardized  :cool.

That looks very useful. Where did you get them from May I ask?

I ordered the bolts, nuts and washers from Namrick‘s (plus a few old bits off the Landy) and then had them sherardized at a company that usually do much larger bits for big industrial companies but were nice enough to put my bits through in between.

Started fitting one of two tonneau support bars to my 109 TC.
Bought from All Wheel Trim some months ago for £81. That's what the advertised £60or £66 gets to once carriage & VAT is added.
So far I've discovered the supplied blind rivets are too large for the holes in the brackets, so that's 16 holes to drill out; and the bars will need shortening by about 5mm so they will fit easily and fully into the installed brackets.

The good news is that the Pro-Tek lazy-tong riveter works marvellously.

Regards.

 Laid her up today for the winter -- too frightened of the Potassium salt (again) now used sporadically in Austria

Spent longer than I'd planned to cleaning the grease from some new old stock genuine brake drums. Used the wife's "Elbow Grease" spray from Poundland.... Worked a treat!  :cheers

+1 for that elbow grease stuff.
 I found it in a similar emporium, penny stretcher, Bob saver or some such, I reluctantly took the gents recommendation but was pleasantly surprised!
