Only just noticed that 1 of the strut bolts just pulls out by hand. Was going to take the brace off and clean it up when i noticed the o/s nearest the front bolt just pulled out. Now iirc there m8x20mm? So would i be ok re tapping the bolt to m10?Cheers olly ________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3  |

Cheers rich took me 5 mins to find it gain thought i was going mental so how comes you cant put a 25mm strut bolt in because it fouls the strut pan but you can put a nut on the other side? Think it was swampy that said that________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3 |

I found putting the 3rd nut on the bolt was a nightmare!!! can hardly get fingers in behind the spring to place it on, so gave up and used my existing struts that didn't have the thread buggered. ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!! You'll need to throw money at the car. Not on parts. Just stand near your car and throw loose change at it, I find this increases performance for a short period of time |

As above, get some mounts with decent threaded holes. I've a few pairs here if you want some.________________________________________  |
