Yes.

Have HEL put their prices up that much? I just fished out my receipts and for 2 lines front, 1 rear, black with stainless banjoes and all the fittings, was under £50...

Please let us all know how this transaction goes, as I have been tempted to attempt to hide purchase of same from the domestic financial controller

Guy on ebay has just e-mailed me to say hel kit with blue fittings out of stock but promised me them by the end of next week. He has the kits with stainless fittings available.

HEL kits with coloured fittings are ok for mot`s because they are stainless steel not alloy as with some other coloured fittings (or so it says on the HEL website)

Can anyone reccomend a suzuki supplier for nuts and bolts my local dealer is taking his time.
I need rear brake master cylinder bolts (also holds on heel plate) for sk1 just spent the last 4 hours trying to get the others out!!! they were locked solid so I had to destroy them to get them out. I also want stainless caliper bolts for the from and rear calipers.

Your going to have fun with the front caliper bolts, as they are a non standard thread

M10x25x1.25 or 10mm Jap

you can buy them from hyperbolt but would normally struggle at your local fastener supplier
