Got a new Spec-R strut brace and didn't really want to use self tappers and whilst I've got the suspension off I can get access underneath. Whats the best bolts (bufty pretty looking please )

 

xinc plated nut and bolts are what ive got, but be warned they aint comming out again with out taking the legs off again

 

Got any pics mate?

Is there anyway I could fit studs or something from underneath so I easilly remove it?

 

they would look wank mate tbh

bolts and nuts under IMO, but then i fitted a PROPER strut brace and not a pretty boy one


think mine have 17mil head bolts on em if that helps


also self locking too,,,,, as you dont want em rattling loose

 

what about using a riv nut, were u rivet in a threaded boss into the turret then just bolt in and out as u need?? just a suggestion fella

 

thats a CLASS idea


where can i get M12 rivinuts from

 

ill have a look in my collection for ya fella

 

Loving the Rivnut idea

Might have to make another trip to Richard Pon for his Rivnut gun

 

looking at that pic Paul, you will be pretty close to the top of the engine with that strut brace.

may have trouble with the heat sheild etc....

 

Wouldnt bother bolting it properly as the strut brace will do very little anyway (compared to the proper type)... You could rivnut, but as soon as it starts to move about, the rivnut may work loose, then you will struggle to get it unbolted at all....

Just use tapers

dave cos4x4

It fits

 

Damo V

it fits with your turbo and heat sheild,think Paul is going T4,2wd manifold etc...

maybe wrong though.

 

Ah to me ROFL

should still fit providing he puts it on the right way round

 

lol, is your way the right way then.

 

I reckon so.......




........................ So do Spec-R

Was going T4 now T38 with 4x4 mainfold

 

why the sad face Paul.

will be good enough.


Damo....

 

I dunno really will still be 440bhp

 

that will be fast enough for the road.

what box have you got for it Paul?

read a bit somewhere but cannot recall what you said.

 

Rivnuts and self tapers to hold the struts together

Wouldnt a couple stainless bolts and lock nuts do better?

 

Its hardly holding the struts together... The car does that

 

Well its got to be at least as secure to make any difference

brace looks nice mate might have to invest in one of them
