Arb end plate is the same as a ford wheel bolt M12x1.5.
Torsion bars are a standard Size thread M8x1.25

Peugeot bolts are m12x1.25, so don't use a cyclone wheel bolt.

it is a cyclone wheel bolt, whether its 1.25 or 1.5 pitch thread is irrelevent that is what fits!

Hmmm maybe i didn't use a cyclone wheel bolt on reflection.... its a couple of years since i removed one, i'll go with the general concesus of opinion and hold my hands up and say i could be wrong on this one. Roll eyes

Also depends how siezed the end plate is on the ARB end splines. Mine was stuck so hard that when i wound the ford wheel bolt in, it stripped the threads in the end plate......

Happy times.

Don't use a bolt with the wrong pitch of thread.

It'll probably work - but one or both of the threads will be weakened/semi stripped. And no one likes weakened wheel bolt threads...
