Jasus I even think I am blonde sometimes. No disrespect to the real blondes out there (I envy you your vibrant hair coloring!) I am a dull brown.

Siobhán don't let those guys wind you up. You are more than capable to cope with them.

No I think that is a valid question regarding hex nuts which deserves a proper answer....














Pity you wont get it from us

Seriously though, you will either have stainless steel or titanium put in with some sort of bolt lock to retain the pins in place
