Striker Bolts.

I've gone and misplaced all the bolts used to connect my live axle to rear of my chassis. Does anyone know the size and length. It's a 1995 chassis with four link bars plus panard and coilovers.
Cheers
Chris

They will all be 12mm (or 1/2" if you have reamed it out).

No problem.
I've got the one's for bolting the top of the coilovers to the chassis but can't find the longer one's that go through the bottom of the coilover/four link bar plus the one's that bolt the longer bars to the side of the chassis.

Why your at this stage. Drill out to 1/2" and order the legs of bolts required. I had to do a bit of searching but found a supplier.

The reason for changing the size is because your metal work and bushes ate different sizes.

Bushes are 1/2" holes are 12mm.

Surely you can just measure length?

Just measured mine (also a 1995 chassis):
The longer bolts that go through the bottom of the coilovers are about 4.25 inches long.
The ones that bolt the longer bars to the side of the chassis (near the front of the seats) are about 3.5 inches long.
The bolt heads seem to take a 19mm socket and have GFD M8.8 marked on them.
Hope this helps.
Tony
