I did, and yes, it was in AU, Victoria as it turns out.. and it cost me twelve gorillas... $1.50 for the hex adapter, and the rest in postage.. for the odd size velcro sanding pad to restore the headlights on the FG.. instead of becoming 'Arnie' doing it in 4 stages by hand. Blah blah blah. Yes, 'bolt / fastening shops' serve their purpose... for the OWNERS, not the customers.
