gradeAfailure 0 Posted March 12, 2005 There are some chromed ones on aBay for a tenner... Am quite tempted but having a 4-dr means I have to spend twice as much! Oh, the suffering, etc, etc... :lol: But then I'd also have to get chrome lock mechs as well... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billinjah 0 Posted March 12, 2005 yeah kev i got the ones off ebay when i sound deadened the doors i noticed it still clanged a a bit, so i traced it to the little plastic sleeves like you say are mullered after 100k+ look nice nickel plated instead of chrome so wont look chipped and nasty after a while!

I went to the $tealers today to order a couple of these stiker bolts - only about £2.70 each inc VAT. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted March 14, 2005 or you could use some industrial heat shrink which'll replace the plastic sleve for about 20p... ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
