I have totally forgotten what this 8.8 or 10.9 means, but it has two
different numerical informations, which are separeted with that (.).
They are metric, nowadays global ISO system standard terms, and I should
know them, but, but...

Well, it is only the time what costs. In bad luck, 50% of our sunny summer
days are gone already. (1979 was such a summer). And the cargo might be
expensive, and we in Europe do not use much cheques. In Finland a bank fee
for a foregin cheque can be about 10 - 15 USD; all payments are made 1.
electronically 2. with credit/bank cards, 3. cash.
I am disapointed that british specialists had no suitable bolts. I know
there is a very good US-car specialist in Helsinki, but they have only sets
of bolts. So I must know, if suitable items are in a
"outlet-manifold-set-for '68 oldsmobile" or something like that.

Mine said 70 AUTO, and my late fathers' pocet pistol was .32 browning AUTO.
They might not be metric standards. Are those 5.5 bolts tempered?

At the moment clock is 2.13 at morning, and it is not totally dark, neither
you can not ride a car without headlights. But one month more, and you can
read a newspaper in your garden at midnight, even here in Helsinki. And in
northern Finland starts that unbelieveable 60-days without sunset. Anyway,
the roadster season has started.
