I don't think I'd let the Post Office near my bike, they have enough trouble delivering a simple parcel.

But I have some spare sumps, including bolts.

today i snapped of an exhaust stud and rounded the big Allen bolt on the clutch cover
this bike is a fo.ker to work on

lloyd i think it's time you treated yourself to some decent tools m8

my tools are good halfords pro . the problem is a a 14year old bike with soft cheese bolts the headers have never been of the bike every bolt has been over tightened . the rear wheel nut took my hole body weight 16 stone and a breaker bar to undo .
