Elderly cat breathing difficulties when purring

[scarlettohara]

Does anyone know an alternative to omlet for spares? I need new bolts and washers for my classic as the old are threaded (a common problem I've found) and I refuse to pay £6.60 for 4 bolts costing £1.50

Can you get them from Screwfix, if not one of the DIY 'sheds'?

They are a very soft alloy, so do tend to cross-thread if you're not careful, I have found that it helps to pop some 3 in 1 oil in each screw hole before putting them in, and also before storage

Good tip.  Mine are seized so I can't get front panel off cube I keep meaning to drop some 3 in 1 into them.
