Xu10J4Rs - Head Stud Conversion Bolts

[markw 1]

Does anybody know of any companies that make a head stud conversion kit (inc nuts) for a gti6 head, off the shelf, specialists want

circa £300 for 2 sets, that makes them £150 per set which seems a lot to me.

 

thanks

I think ARP or someone like that must do them, Rich walker has used them on his super high boost engines.

 

Why do you need them?

[markw 1]

we sheared the "flutes" of one of the standard peugeot bolts, when undoing it after 1000 miles, my engine builder had to drill it out,

which was a b*st*rd of a job, and took ages,

hence he wasnt keen on using std bolts again

Not sure which bit you mean,

 

Surely its massively OTT just for that and adds a hell of a lot of work if the head needs to come off again, given its not a particularly common occurrence on fresh bolts, or even not very fresh at all.

I have a set of ARP custom jobs on one of my 8v's, i'm pretty sure they wouldn't have been much change for £150-200!

Sounds about the right money, Yes ARP do them for the GTi6, if you drop me a PM I think my supplier supplies them
