Rear lower outer wishbone bolt
 

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

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

andy:)

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.

David

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 !)

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

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
David

Thanks David will have to pop out to the cold damp garage and measure up then try my local bolt suppliers
ill get back to you if i cant get a couple
Ray:)

If I remember correctly they were 230mm long 12mm
The bones are 206mm without the bushes.

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.
