Rear lower outer wishbone bolt

[RAYLEE29]

As above what have you guys been using? long bolt or studding? and high tensile or not? Ray:)

[HandyAndy]

i used high tensile studding, more so that i could adjust the length to my liking, personal preference i suppose.

I went to my local bolt man and bought a couple of allen headed
bolts the right length. Only cost a couple of quid each.
I personaly don't like the idea of studding. (But that's just me..:rolleyes: )

And yes definatly H/T. Don't use B&Q rubbish.

It has been said by some that every root of the thread on studding or bolt is a possible failure point,so my personal view for something so critical would be Dogwood's long bolt. (nothing personal David !)

[RAYLEE29]

Ok will look for some really long bolts, Didnt think you could get them that long. thanks
Ray:)

[Land Locked]

what about a good old fashioned rivet? Design it to have radi instead of sharp corners, sure to have no weak points.:p

If you can't get them, give me a shout I'll ask my bolt man if he still has any.
This was 18months ago I bought them

Good one Ray.

I went to my supplier and picked up a couple just incase.
They were about the same price, not bad I think.

For info, anyone looking for bolts etc in the Kent area.
Versatile Fastners, in Gravesend worth a try.
This is their web site, http://www.versatilefasteners.com/
Although it ain't running yet because they just changed hands,


HTH David
