yup just wind the nuts till they bottom out.nylocs will be useless there though, the o.e locking nuts are more suited to that application. ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Not that it really matters but i thought there should be 4 washers and one sits on top of the spring against the "flange"I also make my own bolts with thread as i always find that the bolts supplied with those kit don't do up enough for my liking, they always seem to let a little fart noise out when putting your foot down..... |

Ive tried all sorts over the years and still find my "home made kit" works just as good.An 8mm threaded bar with a 10mm nut on top wound down a few mm, cut down the middle of the threaded bar with a hacksaw down to 10mm nut. Then burr the ends over the nut with a hammer and your done- cant remember if i put a washer on the bottom of the nut or not so it doesn't pull through. its always worked for me. Or you could just buy a kit..... |
