Ash-Kennard Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 i like this topic, but i think your being a bit of a tard seeing as b&q are d.i.y specialists, so they will almost definately sell them. just look harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ash-Kennard Posted July 10, 2006 Report Share Posted July 10, 2006 well if they told you they would get back to you, then that doesn't mean they don't sell them. i suggest just going up there and asking one of the staff, hopefully they will direct you to them, or atleast to the right aisle.but im pretty sure they will have them.

Lawnmowerman Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Before you cut the bolt make sure you thread a nut onto it so that when you take it off it'll clean the threads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Elson Posted July 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Sorry i didnt understand what you mean about using the nut, i will try and cut 5mm off the end because mine is 50 and i need 45, but wont this ruin the thread in the frame if i dont cut it right.

Lawnmowerman Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Put the nut on, cut, then undo the nut and itll clean the end of the threads up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Greenthumb Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 Talk to Edd Potts or "dave85" on hereHe makes them, i'm sure you two can come to some sort of arrangement for just one, he's very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamtrials Posted July 11, 2006 Report Share Posted July 11, 2006 And if there is some bits of spikey metal on the end you could gently remove them with a file before you take the nut off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
