Most of the nuts and bolts are absolutely standard. If you have a Rimmers
catalogue, you can tell the standard size nuts and bolts because they will
be specified by size, rather than using a unique Triumph part number.
A few are special, because they need very particular dimensions, e.g. the
front trunnion bolts that have a shoulder and a smooth shank for the top
half of the bolt. These do have Triumph part numbers. A few
strength-critical ones (head studs, and probably not much else) you should
order specially too.
My personal creed (pt. 1254(b)) - ALWAYS replace any nut or bolt you undo
with a new one. It costs practically nothing, makes re-assembly easier, and
you'll be damn glad you did when the day comes you have to undo it again.
They look prettier and shinier too...
