Good question that, always wondered if there was a better source of parts rather than pot luck on good old ebay..

The ball joint pinch bolts are still available new from fiat. So are the hub carrier to strut pinch bolts. But be warned they aren't cheap. Those 6 bolts set me back just under £50 I only paid £39.60 due to -2 strut bolts as camber bolts going in those! Joe is sorting me out with a wishbone to subframe bolt (thread stripped on way out). Can't wait to see what awaits when I drop the rear subframe!!

Normally it's the thread on the "nut" welded onto the wishbone bracket around the bush that strips, the bolts themselves normally come out OK and may not need to be replaced, but having said that, I've had to replace a couple of the bolts, they can't be re-used endlessly...

They all came out no problem except the longest on the drivers side which lost the first few turns of thread. Nothing wrong with the captive nut which was going in the bin with the old wishbone. Whacked them all out with an impact wrench so maybe that was my first mistake.
Still need to find a replacement downpipe bracket (bracket to engine mount).
