Minimum parts order fiasco !

I needed a pair of nuts and bolts for my Jeep and unfortunately they were a bolt with a built in shoulder and washer so could not use a standard bolt plus they are high tensile.

Went to Jeep main deaker in Derby and came accross the minimum order rule where I could not order 2 bolts and 2 nuts as the minimum order was 4 bolts and 6 nuts!

So as I needed new bolts placed the order it set me back £48.33 ! Now I know why they call dealers Stealer's!

As it happens same bolt is also used for the shock absorber mounting so they might come in habdy in the future but I feel well mugged.
