I'm looking for somewhere in Hutt/Wellington to purchase 8.8 grade bolts from for when I need em for hooks, bumper mounts etc. Where do you get em?
I also need to put some coil spacers in front of Vitara since it sat down a bit with bar on front (even with heavier Tough Dog coils). Anyone know where and how much for some metal ones or humpy ones?

Steel and Tube Fastening by the Normandale overbridge for the bolts. Any engineering shop should be able to make you spacers. But if you want to talk to an engineer who knows 4x4's inside out there is only one choice, Brian Howatt at Howatt Engineering in Naenae.

Another really good source for nuts/bolts etc. is BLACKS FASTENERS, if there is a branch in your neck of the woods. They have virtually everything in stock.
