I remember reading somewhere that Grayston ones are pretty weak and often snap after a while.

I think these are the more recommended ones. I'm planning on getting some eventually!

Ooooo fair bit more price wise but if it is safer best way. What's going to be an ideal length as probably going to do it myself at some point.

The only ones I've seen recommended have been about £80 a set, I sure as hell wouldn't pay as little as a pound for them.

You'll regret it when you see your wheel go rolling past you Yes

I want to do it as standard bolts are a bit tight for the Dotz on the track car. Part of my master plan! Smile

EDIT: Reading the old thread, the ones from the 106 Rallye forum are tempting if he's still making them. Just not sure on lengths.
