Default M3 screws seperate

Hi Guys,
The screws holding the hinge pin blocks onto the Cat SX are prone to bendages, and I highly recommend people check these after each meeting at the minimum - after each heat if you feel the car is getting some abuse.

Until now, these screws have only been available in a large pack of screws - so you end up with many other screws to get just the ones you need. Which isn't such a bad thing at first, but eventually you'll end up with loads of other screws.

But now, Nortech have come to the rescue, and are supplying the M3 screws individually. They are as follows:

M3 x 10mm cap head
M3 x 12mm cap head
M3 x 20mm cap head

If you haven't already got spares, I recommend any Cat SX owner to carry many of each of these to ensure that when they bend (they will), the screws can be replaced straight away and the SX will continue to handle like the awesome machine that it is.

You have a kit don't you? Have a look in the manual. They are M3 though.

So, TEIN, the question is - will Nor-tech ship to Singapore? I reckon he will.
