![]() Yes I have read that too .... My intention is to take all of my nut covers with me at the time of IVA & fit them once the tester has inspected the fixings

![]() Just a point on exposing you're nuts.....
![]() On Ash's test, the dear tester made us remove all the covers. So Ash had to completely expose his nuts. It was bloody freezing that day as well...... ![]() ![]()

![]() Trust you David
![]() ![]() That's probably where I read about exposing your nuts. Twas about then I hatched the cunning plan to leave my nuts exposed for the tester & cover them up once he'd seen them ![]() ![]()

![]() 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.

![]() 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 ![]() 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.
