Jrod 7 Posted May 20, 2007 You can use a bendix caliper bolt Either one of the fronts if it's a 1.6 or one of the rear if its a 1.9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

V8Pete 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Doesn't need to be 100 mm long. 40 is more than enough from memory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wicker man 2 Posted May 21, 2007 ive sorted it all now my mechinic will lend me a torx tool thingy & he's found me a 19mm bolt now its only 90mm long so that should be ok? does it need to be threaded all the way down? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrod 7 Posted May 21, 2007 No but it needs to be the right thread... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
V8Pete 0 Posted May 21, 2007 (edited) The main thing is to make sure the 19 mm head bolt is M12x1.5. That's not the most common M12 pitch. Should only be a couple of bucks from a bolt shop so I don't really know why people seem to have so much trouble with them. I used 35 mm long bolts and that was plenty of length. It might be handy to have a bolt, nut, and big washer to suit the torsion bar thread, but I can't remember what size that is.
