Ron, I dropped in as they are about 5 mins from home. Don't know what the spec is but showed them the corrosion on mine and got a new set foc
Suggest giving them a ring or xalling in on your travels "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Guys,
Just be careful if you change to stainless bolts all you will end up doing is galvanically corroding the metal that the bolts screw in to. I would humbly suggest you would rather grease the bolts and change them out periodically than have to drill and re-tap to the next size when the threads, assuming they are bolted to a carbon steel support bracket, corrode away. Just a thought.

Mine were knack-ered after 2 years, and the car had been serviced (and Mantec removed ) three times in that period. So they do need regular cleaning if you want avoid problems in the future . . . .
However blasting through the surf on black rock sands may not have helped  "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Sorry Ron, meant to post the link to this:
http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic17577.h...ing+mantec
M10 x 40 will do nicely
Will follow up on the transport issue on Monday
And need to talk to DiscoKenny about something too 
And chase up the bungs I ordered a few weeks back
And that book i promised John; I need to get that to him on Tuesday.
Oh, and Dunc's spreadsheet......
 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.
