Nut and bolt.

 

thats gonna make it so much more of a shit job to do though...



you know what, im gonna just use coach bolts and to hell with it

 

For show only = Coach bolts

Properly fitted = Nuts & bolts

 

ok , so......


does anyone know if i can get away with using a nut and bolt fixing WITHOUT removing the spring and suspension leg ? ?

 

Yes it will fit with nut and bolts + you will not need to remove any components

 

Just jack the front up and your be able to reach up with a nut n washer

 

mates got a machine that will press in a threaded pop rivet , you know them threads that sometimes get loose with age ?? i think its called a rivet press

gonna use that and some loctite to make sure it stays put with some m6 ally bolts

ill get some pics tomorow

 

Jano, u saying that has just made me want to fit my strut brace

 

They are called "riv nuts" kool tool

I wouldnt use them mate. Not very secure. Bolt, nuts and washers all the way

 

yeh thats it riv nuts, and i spose ill just have to use nut and bolts...... , ill get it done this week i think hhee
