bonnet pins

you guys got any steel ones? i need the upright parts and i will be over your way mid afternoon.tried to get some from fletchers and they dont stock anything now days
 
you know i never thought to look in the shop.

i believe the plating is zinc and nickel (like bolts) usually shortened to ZN.thats what makes em all shiney

put some aside for me please good sir and i will collect them when im next over that way.it was going to be this afternoon but im to good at deligating so now i have to play on the internet all afternnon.
such is life

*all my steel bars end up in topi's dining room waiting for him to pull his finger out and then be machined into various trinklets.

you need a lathe youth. We don't do them...but I know a man who does! Then you don't have to wait for topi to stop fannying around in his sandpit.

yeh they are Zinc Nickel. I just couldnt be bothered to type it.

Anyway Yeh I'll put a set to one side and wait for you to grace our prescence
 
i need a set of these too... do i need to phone up and ting or can you just charge me and send them out... you know what i get like when i speak to you or bon... xxxx
 
Use your account to order some jason, that stops you having to phone up and you bon and me having those wierd 3way phone chats (without trousers).

Order now and they will go out tomorrow.

incase you didnt know the quality of these is totally shocking.the base plate on one of them was totally the wrong shape which caused the pin to be jammed in the closed position.
 
You probably fitted them wrong youth.

I still insist you would be far better hand beating everything you want out of lumps of steel with nothing more than a chisel hammer and a cuppa. This modern world is not for you.
 
come to think of it the edges were also razor sharp.
i dont really care enough to return them as i only needed the upright sections and they were ok.
i just thought i would make you aware that they were not upto the usual specification that ones expects from a company such as yourselves and if these were my first purchase then i would feel dishearted by the whole experience.but as they are not i feel that we can put the subject to bed.
 
Mooseman, I have 4 or more old pins from my e30, welcome to them for a few chocolate bars.
 
Lolz

Moose, I made some tissues for you out of that steel bar. So you can dry your eyes after dealing with those terrible bonnet pins.
