Missing bits - 12mm fuel pipe & dome bolts

Realised there were another couple of items missing (not listed in the BOM):
- 12mm fuel pipe to connect the fuel tank to the fuel pump (I saw another build diary mentioning this as well)
- M8 x 25mm dome allen bolts for mounting the "P" bracket for the air filter

Here's my consolidated list (I've not listed items that were listed in the BOM which they didn't have in stock and were sent through later).

Missing parts:
- Front Suspension locknut for the ball joints (2 x M12 X 1.25 plain nuts)
- Spacers for locating in the cupped section of the metalastic buffers for the diff
- Rear upright/upper wishbone/lower shock absorber mounting (2 x M10 x 120mm bolts)
- Diff mounting bracket (2 x 7/16 x 4.5" bolts)
- Electrical connectors
- Steering Column fixing U bolts (2 sizes as MX-5 columns can vary in size)

Kit problems:
- steering mounting in wrong place
- rivnuts for fuel pump/filter missing
- steering rack bracket mounting off
