Almost there! - SV650.org

Winder popped over today and we effectively rebuilt the SV....

he's a good lad. After i get back from my work stay in london i shall be out and about ( Blame Winder for my lethal self being road legal again....watch your six..

)

One question. My nose cone section is missing 4 bolts/screws from the bottom. Took a look at bordtea's nose cone and all 4 holes have very small silver alan bolts with little grey washers....anyone got any idea of where to get these...or indeed what would be a good substitute? I have plastic rivet plug things but they dont really hold these together.

Cheers,
Jam

Take one of Bordteas out (with the washer) take them to a hardware store, produce said alan bolt and washer to a member of staff and say "four more of those please", will cost pence!

Cable ties.

And maybe gaffer tape.

Today I fecked one of my bolts. I solved the problem by putting some electrical tape over the hole and pretending it's not there. Could try that.

Maybe you should try that with your lights too!
