Nut and bolt specialist - M6x25 will see you fine

Make sure you get some washers to go with them too that have a large footprint

I think it was Motorworld I got some from Nick. Just watch out for all those classy boy racer mobiles outside.

Are you around tomorrow if I nip down then? What time?

Motorworld definitely did do them.

Thanks for all the help this afternoon mate. I've got the whole lot out now. That pit is well smart.
Perhaps I need to practice my reversing skills though.

This is the battery on my E30

All the main feeds come off the battery terminal (starter, alty, fusebox, fuel pump, and feed for the distribution block)

Auxillary feeds, IE, for the ECU, radiator fan, HID headlights and other things come off the auxillary block on their own fuses

All the earthing is done on the strut-top mounting point with only the engine ground and body ground going to the battery

Nice and neat
