Question Maxi ball joint question

Hiya,

The Maxi ball joints I'm using didn't come with any mounting bolts, so I need to buy some.

However: the Maxi flanges have Ø9mm holes, but the lower arms have Ø11mm holes.

Just wondered what you guys have done?
- Use M8 bolts to fit the Maxi flange
- Drill out the flange to 10.5 or 11mm and use M10 bolts

Cheers, Mike

Drill and use high tensile bolts to suit.
