The bolt kits on this page are also unflanged - https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...olts-fc112187a
The nut kits on this page are flanged - https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...tainless-steel

Now, there's a single page with all the arm items bundled together and the pic shows flanged bolts & flanged nuts which appear to have the same colour/finish as the ones on Rimmers. https://www.dmgrs.co.uk/collections/...2057-xpbundle2

I didn't know M12 bolts marked '8.8' are only specified to 70Nm, so I'll replace them (and the nuts) with these Rimmers items:

Oh no, more money

Hi Simon.
Drop Matt or is new partner a PM and see if they will reinburse you for the nut & bolts, I read that they are working on a phone number so they can be called? which is going to be better at least then you can talk to him/them direct.

Are the arms etc the ones made in India or China ? I am waiting for the new batch to come on the market before I purchase some for the future.
