That's what I thought too. It must be a very new or very old model.

FFS?

Seems a tad hostile, eh?

I'm curious what you mean by "not as simple as that in the UK".

As I sit here, off the top of my head I can think of probably a dozen or more places, none of which are more than 15 minutes away, where I could go to buy loose hardware. Nothing too it.

You know what else we have? Indoor plumbing. Hot AND cold water, on demand. Just wait until you get that. It's the ****.

I don't have the foggiest idea about life in the UK but you were given a straight answer based on how we would do things here. If things differ here than from where you come from, how are we supposed to know that?

Wondering if he is talking about replacing the bolts for the clutch spring retaining plate with studs and acorn nuts. There was mention of an open clutch/primary.
