Bolt Sizes

[SteveH1]

Is there a list of bolt sizes on the site for the suspension on the saturn plans

[rpjg1975]

This is a copy of the list given for the last group buy that was organised. Hope it helps?

2 x M12 X 260mm Bolts - (Rear Uprights)
2 x M12 X 220mm Bolts - (Diff Mounts) <--- I have increased the length of these by 20mm from the previous group buys as the bolts I got were not long enough for my diff (standard sierra).
20 x M12 X 70mm Bolts - (Wishbones, Rear Camber Adjuster, Lower Shock Mounts)
6 x M12 X 60MM Bolts - (Upper Rear and Front Shock Mounts)
30 x M12 Nyloc Nuts - (Type P - these are a bit thicker than normal nuts and better suited to suspension applications)
30 x M12 Plain Full Nuts - (these are for test fitting components without ruining the Nyloc nuts)
60 x M12 Flat Washers - (Form A)
60 x M12 Black Plastic Nut Covers.

I ordered mine through Orbital Fasteners online and at the time cost £32 including postage

Hope that helps

I assume the above list is for a Sierra build and I appreciate a lot is the same but can anyone add/edit my list below. I will be using MX5 MK1 uprights in a TMXR chassis with TMXR wishbones, I will also be using talons diff cover and nose mount. As you can see I'm unsure on a couple and can anyone tell me what I will need for the gearbox rear mount?
Thanks in advance.

2 x M12 X 260mm Bolts - (Rear Uprights bottom)
2 x M12 X ???mm (Rear Uprights top)
2 x M12 X ???mm Bolts - (Diff nose Mount)
16 x M12 X 70mm Bolts - (Wishbones to chassis)
6 x M12 X 60MM Bolts - (Upper Rear and Front Shock Mounts)
28 x M12 Nyloc Nuts - (For all M12 bolts)
56 x M12 Washers - (2 for all M12 bolts)
56 x M12 Black Plastic Nut Covers - (For bolt and nuts on all mountings)

gearbox rear mount is a bit 50mm box section bolted to the gearbox with a landrover round engine/gearbox mount underneath

top upright are 200mm diff nose are 150 on mine, maybe get away with 10mm shorter i havent finalised mine yet.
also note the rear bottom bolts are m12 and do not buy the mx5 bolts like i did they dont fit and cost £30

Perfect plan to order the bolts as I'm expecting the wishbones in the next 2-3 weeks. I believe the Mazda bottom ones are 14mm, I was planning to use some 14mm tube with 1mm wall to 'fill' the gap and then run the M12x260mm bolt through it. Hope that's right.
