Or, Amazon but you'll end up with 100.

Actually I was looking at the picture and didn't see the 50mm length, definitely don't need that long. Maybe 10-15mm. Good suggestion on the bike shop, I'll give that a try

Disc brake calipers use M6 bolts but on second thought you can also get them at most hardware stores.

PM Hobbycraft, on 32nd Ave NE, has lots of small hardware.

And that's not just their customers.

Any recommendation for fixing a tear in a leather (actually probably more like vinyl) seat?
Is DIY even possible? If not where could I take it?

Anyone have good recommendations for auto detailing? I want my my 10 year old car which I cling to as being cool to look like a mirror so I can check out how hot my thinning hair is looking when I look back at it as I walk away.

If you want the absolute best in the city, it's Autokosmetik (Jed, formerly of Mobile Reflections and Porsche Centre Calgary).

If you can't bring yourself to spend what Jed at Autokosmetik is worth (and his work is definitely something to behold), I swear by Doctor Detail Auto Salon on Southport Road. He did some great work on my car, and I usually send my winter vehicle to him for a deep clean of the interior once spring is in full swing to get the winter debris out.
