Im in for a set please mate + Covers

My back of the envelope calculation puts the weight of the kit at around 3200 g, which means postage would be around £20 if split into two Airmail small packets. I guess that leaves me out :(
I think the rear upright lower bolt will be shorter. Upright - 120 mm. 2 bushes: 100 mm. 2 washers - 3 mm. Nylock nut - 12 mm. 2 more spins of the thread - 3.5 mm. Total: 238.5 mm. Seeing as this is the bolt that interferes with 14" steel wheels for some people, I'd keep it at minimum. I would also suggest adding front upright strut pinch bolts, M12x45, to the kit. |

I have put a copy of the list in the first post of this thread ;) |

Like you say, the only reliable way of getting them out to you would be by Airmail & yes, split into two packages to avoid the 2kg weight limit :rolleyes: Thank's for the info Albert .... I will go through the lengths thouroughly before I order up, want to get it spot on. Would you think the upright pinch bolts would need to be stronger that 8.8's ? Your thoughts would be most welcome :) . |
I'm a complete numpty at mechanical engineering and don't have a clue about how to calculate the tensile load on that bolt, but I can just about make out an 8.8 rating on the original Sierra bolts.

I guess at 8.8 the thread would yield before the bolts yeild point & there won't be any real torsional load on the bolts as such. If 8.8's were good enough for Ford, they'll be good enough for me :D |
Could i be added to the list thankyouplease :D
