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.

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.

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.

Thanks guys. Whilst rummaging in the loft yesterday I came across some, so panic over and thanks to everyone who offered assistance.
