1800: - Front Suspension Bolts

Jocky66 · Nov 5th, 2016, 12:45

I've mis-placed a box and whilst I would appreciate all your offers to help find it, what am really looking for is the bolt sizes which bolt the front suspension to the bodywork.
Was going to replace these with stainless steel but if anyone can advise on he sizes needed it would be most appreciated. Think there are 3 on either side.

Never ever use stainless bolts in suspension. Google about this. Think about this, think really hard and you will recognise: stainless bolts are not useable for the suspension.
Buy new crews, grease them and you will be lucky. Regards, Kay

Go to BASTUCK on the internet. they will either send you or you can down load a catalogue . they have most the bolt sizes for suspension.
Mate NEVER EVER fit stainless to a stressed area, their sheer aint good.
Go for high tensile every time.
I have built & rallied cars and seen some interesting effects when stainless bolts have been fitted-- Gucci they may be but in IMHO....durable when under stress they aint !!!!
