Rear suspension bush bolts

Post by A7RXY »

Having now managed to remove most of these bolts one of the 17mm bolts to the Watts link to boby has sheared. Has anyone got contacts in the UK for replacements as I would like to replace them all as well as the 22mm ones.
I've found some in Japan that can be shipped but thought I'd ask on here if anyone knew of any suppliers in the UK.

I feel your pain. When my bushes got done, every bolt (apart the watts link ones) had to be cut out. :twisted:

I get my stuff off Ebay. Make sure it's high tensile. The standard metric stuff will have a slightly larger head though. Rather than the JIS bolts

I couldn't even get ONE bolt out myself. I asked Andy Tappenden at AMT to do the job for me. So when I go to get them out this time, they should come off easy (ish) but I'm expecting to find some odd sizes.
