OK but you are talking different money, especially for the Lotus

Surely. I think Lotus is soooo rare these days, so it would coast ALOT of €'s to get one. I think in U.K. they have still quite many, as they have onekind Ford club's and "old Ford meetings" there and i have seen fotos from many Lotus Cortina's from they meetings. GT will fit also to me and i think, not so difficult to get some from EU area
Anyway it must be -65 or -66 modell, not older or newer
Sadly many of them are "rubbish" and need huge amount time to fix (and space, what i dont have), so good one can be best for me
No time to fix cars as i have too many Ducati's already

many of the Lotus-Cortina that you see can also be replicas.

Ok let's stop talking about Lotus Cortina because if we continue we are in the wrong forum and the administrator
is going to kick us out.

Of course they are. If you look for fairing nuts you´ll find M6 and M8 w/o problems. What size are they ?

I just bought 25 new ones from sportbikebolts.com. I also bought fasteners last year to match the color of my bike. They have good stuff and ship worldwide. The fairing screw were about a $1 US.

My screws are not bad, apart from two that have been replaced by some purple aftermarket aluminum ones which every time I see them I want to throw up, and will be replaced or painted black ASAP

If they are aluminium you can have them anodized black.
