    Hi all,

    I'm doing some work on my Saab 9000 and given the age / condition of the car, lots of metal retaining clips / screws / bolts are breaking on me. Now I've done the rounds of motor factors with little luck seeking replacements.

    They used a lot of different sized Torx bolts, and even these can't be got locally. Is there a 'one stop shop' for all this stuff? Like, a place that does nothing but nuts / screws / bolts / clips etc?

    T.I.A.,

    Tony.

    Jebbs are good for that sort of stuff,

    Halfords also have some panel clip kits.

    Sparex distributers are good for bits and pieces too.

    Thanks for the replies folks :)

    I'm based out in Bray. Can't find my camera, but I did a quick doodle of the bad boys I've broken / have disintegrated lately. Basically, they both have sharp spikes that dig into PVC.

    Tucks have moved out of their Eastwall premises a while now.
    Their current address is U10 Century Bus Pk Finglas.
    Apparently Aldi are supposed to be moving into their old premises.
