    Wanted:- Head bolts - ABY URGENTLY!

    Went to GSF to get my head bolts yesterday and found out that they are NLA! Should have stopped being cheap and just gone with VAG Parts... Audi want over £4 ea. for them.

    Anyway, has anyone got a set in or around the Brissol / Gloucestershire area that I can have (on a replacement or cash basis) as I NEED them for this weekend. Will pick up.

    Pretty please with a cherry on top!
    Cheers'en, AndyC

          ARP Studs, goop plan! I'll have a look as they're the same price as a set of head bolts form Audi!

          Jay, I'll let you know ASAP.

              ARP mate - its the right answer... Surprised a man of your gumption and forward thinking didnt plan for those 1st time round ! Higher spec than factory bolts and cheaper in the long run due to re-use.

                Have to say that's what 'm thinking... Will have make a decision before lunch!

                Corey has provided me with a quote for the ARP stuff and it's equivalent to 2 sets of bolts from Audi or just under 4 from VAG Parts.

                        Quattro corner do a set of standard bolts at a VERY reasonable price should anyone else need some.

                            ARPs were bought from Quattronics so best phone them for the best price.

                              I'm sure either raceware or arp had a sale on the S2 bolts and they were like £75

                              Terrybullwon bought a set last month.
