Allen Key Bolts for H/U
« on: 27 September 2017, 14:49:47 »
Removing the NCDC head unit, I lost one. I could do with a few spares, anyone got any kicking about?

I did the same with mine and would ask the same question! Assuming these are the 4 corner retaining screws?

They are only the security plugs to stop people whipping the HU out quickly. Maybe Dave DND might know of a source?

Might do, also aesthetic as well. Makes it look neater I think, rather than big holes.
