Does anybody know of a source for the Dolomite Chrome bumper bolts?
Rimmer list them but they expensive and unsure whether they are the correct size?
They sell them for Spitfire, GT6, early TR and Dolomite under part number 725804, but I thought that Spitfire were shorter than Dolomite?
Are they available anywhere else? Spalding fastners perhaps
Thanks.

I just polished some m10 stainless steel button heads in the correct length then ran a drill through the squared hole in the bumper. They look great from a distance and undo when I want them to.

Re: Chrome bumper bolts
Think I got mine from Spalding, I think I also have some good used ones as I used new ones on my car, the old ones were 95% OK.

Re: Chrome bumper bolts
Hi Mak, can you remember if they were MGA 2"?
It isn't Orange!!!!!!
The other one wasn't Purple either!!!
One of the new ones will probably be green, very green.
Another new one is green too but not as green as the previous one. Still pretty green. No, now it's Blue.
The other new one will be white with stripes. Actually it might not. No, it will be.
BUT, that one is definitely Yellow :=}

Sounds right. I know they were spot on.

Re: Chrome bumper bolts
In my experience original ones are far better quality than replacement ones. If you can find good used I would go for them every time. I may have a couple , I'll look tonight and pm you if I have.
Re: Chrome bumper bolts
Thanks guys. Whilst rummaging in the loft yesterday I came across some, so panic over and thanks to everyone who offered assistance.
