How come these are listed at vastly different prices:

SBD £74.85!!!!

Burton: £61.50 https://www.burtonpower.com/product_main.aspx?dets_product.aspx?PSet=97&sTxt=ARP%20duratec


Caterham: £13.51!!!!

Am I missing something? Caterham seem too cheap?

Similarly burton charge £38 for the front bolt and washer combo, Caterham list it at a fiver?!

That seems way too cheap for a set of ARP bolts, especialy from Caterham who are hardly renown for bargain prices. Very probably a misprice IMO.

With Caterham - thats probably EACH rather than a set

x8 = £108.08. Definately more of a Caterham style price

Don't look a gift horse in the mouth...
If you need them, buy them.
I may buy a set "just in case"

i remember a couple of years ago i ordered what i thought was pair of cycle wings from Caterham, when confirmation of order came through it was priced as each not for a pair! may be same for bolts


Stuart_B - 10/1/10 at 11:15 AM

but it states "ARP Big End Bolt - 1 Pack of 8 - R400 Duratec £13.51
(ex VAT £11.50"

so that should be 8, unless they are false advertisment which is against the law.

its says 1 of 8. that says it all

Caterham website can be a bit bizarre... that price with be per bolt!

Funny it reads to me as " 1 pack of 8"

not "1 of a pack of 8"
And no punctuation to make you think otherwise.
Very strange indeed.

says '1 pack of 8' and photo shows 8 bolts


FASTdan - 10/1/10 at 05:04 PM

Agreed it states 1 pack of 8.

Likewise, front crank bolt (a SINGLE bolt so no ambiguity) is drastically cheaper than elsewhere.....

I'll place the order and see what happens. if 1 bolt turns up there'll be trouble

Just for update... price was a mistake... now £100!
