Aldi has the type of selection boxes in stock that I like!! They do two boxes with O-rings, metric sizes and imperial sizes. Question; is most of this stuff on the Tiger (like the ones on the fuel connections) metric or imperial?
There are split pins as well (mild steel) and other bits and pieces.
I bought a box of their O rings a couple of years ago and have yet to find anything any of them fit.

Lol, which ones did you get metric (yellow box) or imperial (blue box)...
I left with the bit's set, picking hook thingys (would have been great for getting plastic out of threads of fuel fittings) but left the O-rings...
you also get those boxes on tool stalls at boot sales for about the asme price. Also, our local cash and carry sells them. The box of assorted spade fuses is good, you can't buy cheaper... :wink:

Err, I can, I put down that box today cos it was too expensive, mine are 5p a pop from the local motor factors. OK no box and no nice little tool for taking them out, but only about seven fuses per section and six sections.
Things can be hard to find around here at times, especially if it's not bog standard. You get tired of having to order everything in. A little selection of O-rings can make the difference between out riding or waiting on a little parcel for a week lol.
No more spending money now, gathering up the cash for my crash bars and C+S which I hope to pick up in the UK shortly.

Everything on Hinckley Triumphs will be metric
BUT don't use those "O" rings on your fuel connectors because the petrol will rot them and you'll have a leak in no time. The fuel ones need to be a "Viton" material or similar which is resistant to fuel.
