Arsath, that type of bolt is called a coach bolt. If it has a screw driver slot in the top it becomes a roofing bolt.

Looking at that photo to me it looks like a galvanised mild steel coach bolt rather then a stainless coach bolt. However it can be difficult to tell from a photograph. The stainless coach bolts we have are thinner in the rim, smoother finish and have rings on the head (IIRC)

When fitting any after aftermarket kit whilst parked on gravel/grass it is a good idea to put a tarp on the ground first. Can make finding that dropped nut, washer, socket much easier.

Thanks .. I had no idea what they were called.. the photo is not the actual coach bolt, I just googled "flat head bolt" Laughing And found that photo. I did not know how to explain it without the picture..

Hello there, I have purchased and fitted a carpet set from LRI it was for my 90 rear only. If from memory they offer 2 different qualities and I purchased there best or the most expensive!! , I cannot obviously compare the two for quality but I am well pleased with my choice.
The carpet come pre cut for all sections in the back of the 90 and was spot on with only mild trimming needed. It has been in a while now and it still looks good as new and as it's treated as a work horse all sorts has been chucked at it.
The only gripe is that the glue supplied has just lost its sticky-ness and needs a bit of fettling in some small places but nothing to worry about.
Hope this helps you.

I'm interested in the answer to the 'carpet question' too. But after Dynamat (or similar) I will use mass-loaded vinyl - eg eBay eBay Item No. 151560151880 under the carpet. (At the risk of thread diversion, Dynamat type stuff is meant to damp panel resonance, MLV will reduce noise intrusion and carpet will muffle the interior so they each have a role.)

Yours are certainly looking very good Brendan - noting the previous comments. Steve's in-situ pics do them justice.
Compared to others I have looked at, I do prefer the less blingy finish, the step/groove, and the coach bolt fittings.
I've just been on your website - is the price the same for the 90 and 110 even though there is more to the latter package?
Cheers,
Will

Will, did you mean Steve's in-situ pictures DONT DO JUSTICE? Confused I never said Brendon's products are not nice or inferior in quality.. I only have experience with the LRI product thus recommended it, the thread was posted asking about the LRI product. just for the record.. Rolling Eyes

It was indeed originally regarding LRi's but I just posted up as a comparison.

As I mentioned previously I have a mixture of both, both good but if I had the choice again for the rear it would be from Brendan.
LRi's are a bit blingy.

But each to their own! Both are good.

Hi Arsath,
I'm sorry if my post has been potentially misinterpreted as I was not actually making any comment about yours or any other post in anything but a positive manner. Question

I was simply reflecting on ALL of the comments so far, and based on what I have read, forming my own (revised) conclusion that the product offered by Brendan is now my preferred choice. All of the other products look to be excellent quality.

I certainly wasn't making any reference to your comments specifically and I apologise if I came across that way. I don't suppose my choice of 'quote' helped. Sorry about that.

With regard to Steve's photo's, what I should have said is that they really do make Brendan's offering look very good indeed, and indicate that his product is better suited to my need. Perhaps I should have said exactly that. Sorry.

I didn't at all read into any suggestion that any of the products were not good, just different. Very Happy

Hope that helps Thumbs Up

Think we're building a good consensus then that all are pretty good, think Ill personally go for Brendan's Thumbs Up

LRI carpets are their "premium" quality so should be good too. Should finish off the new 110 just as it should've been in my opinion! Cheers, David

The rear strip is indeed brushed from Brendan, which is good.
I'd swap but there is little point,
Don't mind a shiny rear but not the front so much.

Like some other members with OCDefeneritis, I'd probably keep polishing it to keep it shiny. Laughing
I don't mind SS fixings but I'm not a fan of it for show too much, it has its place.
The Naka SS bolt kit is superb!
