Hello On the topic of Nuts and Bolts... I had my Javelin near side front wing renovated recently (and a good job it is too!) Unfortunately the bolts could not be 'rescued' and were replaced by hexagonal bolts with nuts (metric, I guess) Does anyone know the size of the said bolts and nuts (although ...

Thanks for the reminder, David. Since you told members about this check, I've made it part of my annual 'check up'! Whilst greasing the front end, it only adds a few minutes to the job, but it's a real reassurance that everything is tight.

Thanks, in anticipation. Paul

I hope this might help!

Well, I for one, am fascinated by the history of the CDs and the R4s, and the "what might have been". So thanks for re-raising it again, David,
Best wishes

Thanks for sharing it.
