Post a parts list - then I can copy you
I've been down Batley the past couple of weeks hoping you'd turn up Andy - sadly we'll have to wait and see

I got some EDIT counter sunk washers in that brown / olive colour to match the rest of the anodising. I've just got them on the lower shock screws and inner camber link screws (not using the ball stud style from the kit, but the older screw and threaded ball)
I also anodised my old titanium turnbuckles with a bunch of 9v batteries and some salt water - I was going for gold (!) but they've ended up matching the brown / olive hard anodising colour as well. They look quite nice.

Sadly it already looks too nice - so I might leave it on a shelf and build another new one to beat you with
