If I was a gambling man, I'd say they're the bolts in the bag in your picture!
From memory they're M10* 130 or similar for use bolting in JATE rings |

Shouldn’t be hard. A 2.4 Puma is only Euro 4. Just an EGR and one Cat. A TD5 must be Euro 4 also.

| Having said that, they do a galvanised safari puma door, but not a 2nd row. That might make the choice for me! |

Yeah I'm at the stage where if it's steel and being replaced, it's galvanised!
It's why I'm probably going to go DDS tree sliders over Shire or the other options |
