American bolts and nuts

[Rob M.]

Hi all,

I really getting nuts of not having the correct size bolts and nuts available in the Netherlands. Every time I encounter 1 or 2 nuts or bolts missing and I have to buy a complete and bolt & nut set and have to spend up till $15 for it, not even including the shipment, tax and the month delay to get it into the Netherlands (e.g. the ones which are currently missing to fasten the windowscreen, under the dash and for the grill teeth, which were not included in the plate and stud set I just bought). I know, I should have relalized this before I bought an American car while living in Europe but it still is a pain in the A**. So to all, please send your obsolete C1 Corvette nuts, washers, rings and bolts to:

Rob Musquetier
Sportlaan 14
1906 XE Limmen
The Netherlands

Thanks,
Rob

PS This really was a very therapheutic mail to get rid of the Friday resto stress ;-)

Hi Rob,

I can appreciate your post but what is even worse after the long wait is when they send you the wrong stuff. Have a Happy Friday.

Another nice example yesterday: ordered a clutch bolt set and ofcourse NO NUT included. There goes another month...

Rob: Sounds like you have a business opportunity by becoming a vendor for the folks in the UK and on the continent. You could be the European branch of Paragon or some other vendor.
