swapping std MK3 ARB for RS1600i version

Will I need any different bolts etc? Are the RS16i ones longer?

If so know where to get 'em?

You might need slightly longer ones for all of them and for two of them even longer ones because they go through they hold the bushingsas well. I've used old CVH head bolts for these.

Screwfix sell the right ones - about £12 for a box of 50.

I bought mine there when I fitted my ARB and they fit a treat.

Sounds good!

No idea where to start with the massive choice there though.... any pointers on what lengths and thread I'll be needing?

Do you know if any will be the same as the original bolts on my car?
