Hi sylvester. The locking bolts from nitrousgear are TUV & Thatcham approved & come with chrome caps. Superb & a bargain at £15.99.
For the other 16 bolts you will need, the simplest and probably cheapest way is with the original bolts (cleaned up on grindstone wire wheel is fine) and a set of plastic, chromed bolt caps. I put some copper grease inside when fitting.
Bought mine from
[email protected] £29.50 per set of 20
Beware of chromed bolts and get an assurance that they are not brittle. The chroming does that and a special process is required to de-brittle them. To chrome and de-brittle I was quoted about £4 per bolt by a firm in Letchworth.
Don't forget with chromed bolts you can easily damage the chrome with a normal socket but nylon lined ones are supposed to be available. 17mm.
Vauxhall have plastic caps in aluminium & black finish (for SRi I think)
