That's exciting, funnily enough my deposit was also paid on the 8th of Oct 2018. I figured I'd be getting the car Spring next year based on finger in the air.

Would you spec stainless bolts from the factory then, I presume there are more of those than these?

I’d be up for a set of these next year, ordered Nov 18 so probably a year away.

Yes, defo get the stainless steel bolts. Otherwise any damp/wet running and they'll start rusting away.

Yes defo spec the stainless steel fixings and stainless brake and clutch line fixings. These 23 bolts are just the "body work" bolts, so very cosmetic low stress bolts, pure eye candy apart from the steering wheel being bolted to the quick release boss of course - this is pretty important When you spec the stainless steel fittings, this includes all the bolts, nuts and washers for everything including for example; push rods, suspension wishbones, the camber tie rods on the rear, engine bolts etc etc.

I did a video recently on the Atom 4 spec sheet that you may find useful here: https://youtu.be/1FC5wyqkEXI

An update on this. At the weekend when fitting the rest of the bolts, I noticed I missed 2 body titanium bolts. They are not that visible but they sit right at the bottom of either side of front body work.

Picture attached. I think they are 16mm bolts, but have not yet taken these out to measure them: https://www.pro-bolt.com/titanium-dome- ... 00mmx16mm/

I haven't ordered these, but probably will at some stage. just fyi if you want the full kit.

If you are interested in getting these bolts, I have a 10% off code from Pro-Bolt. The first person to ask can have it.

If anyone is interested, these are 20mm, I’ve just put them in, they look lovely and the 20grams (vs the 2kg I’ve put on over Christmas) will make a real difference in weight savings!
