Too much to list mate.

Usually its the popular parts that aren't available anymore as the stock has been exhausted!

really, is it gonna be that bad?

I was expecting that kind of. just thought it would be nice to fit brand new parts, rather than old bits.

is it possible to get a "nut and bolt" set so to speak of?

A nut and bolt set - PMSL

If only Its much better and quite often cheaper to go to your local fasteners. Get nice stainless bolts, they will never degrade either.

Obviously there is a handful of bolts which aren't replaceable due to being high tensile, but its minimal

quite a few of the simpler bits like nuts, bolts etc are still available as i just replaced the nuts on my turbo/manifold join- its just a case of going to the parts desk and finding out
I so say have the last clutch cable from bristol as ford aren't making them anymore and i was just lucky the actual parts desk had one in stock so thats another thing to add to the list
