==================================
Huh? Why don't you recommend that the supplier put bolts and nuts in
the kit, if that's the better way? Better yet, why don't you *insist*
that the kit include the necessary hardware, and add it to the kit
yourself if the supplier refuses?
If the "kit" doesn't include all the parts necessary for the job, it's
not a kit but rather part of one.
Hand the unstructions to your secretary (or some other person who is a
non-gearhead if your secretary is also a mechanic) and see how well
they do with them. It may be instructive. I have been astounded at the
poor quality of the instructions that came with many of the items I
have bought for my '52 in the last few months. I've had a terrible
time figuring some of them out, and I am a mechanic and machinist with
many years of experience.
Hah. I see I made a typo in the third word of the last paragraph.
Seems to work better than the correct spelling, so I'll leave it.
