The britpart hoses come with new bolts and washer.

Really? That's what I've ordered.
BP hoses for me tratter didn't come with the nuts, balljoints didn't come with nuts.
I haven't ordered the braided ones though, maybe they do, just standard rubber stuff.

It's not like days of yore round here anymore, auto factors just self polish and carbon fibre looky likey tat for the chavs.
There is a hydraulic hose place not a million miles away, I'll try them.

Mine are the standard rubber one and came complete with bolt washers and the mounting brackets, which are all missing from the braided hose set

The island 4x4 bits have come, just waiting for paddocks (next Monday according to FedExNot sure? Il go and look.
but only so you can compare my organisation skills compared to Brian’s ^^^
) unfortunately, for me, I can't put anything together because the paddocks order has the top swivel ball joints.Also a bit disappointed that my pricey lemforder drag link, long end, doesn't come with the adaptor/adjuster/clamp do-dah. Got the short ball joint but nowt to screw it into
. I'll have to salvage the old one and clean it up.

Shame they don’t come with the adjuster?
End of the day it’s the joint itself you want Lemforder, not the doo-dah that fails. Will be gleaming under there with all those shinys. I fitted BP drag link about 2 years ago as it was quick cheap and had new joints on it. When I checked recently before mot there is slight play in it already but I have stupid size tyres
Your organisation also better than mine

I've checked on paddocks website and they do the complete lemforder drag link for £70, I got lemforder long and short and it was £55 from island.Shame they don’t come with the adjuster?

Island don't list a lemforder complete drag link.
Got lemforder everything cept droplinks.
I've had lemforder for years and still chomp through them... That's offroading as well. There some reinforced ones on the bay of E, somewhere in Wales I think?

I've got the adaptor/adjuster orf the old drag link which turned out to be not the faff I expected considering the rust all around it. Had to cut the two bolts for the two clamps off though.
The large male thread that screws into the drag link tube is perfect as is the other, female, end. Derust and paint, new nuts/bolts and it'll be lush
Short TRE is left hand thread, drag link tube is right hand thread duntcha know
