Caliper to upright bolts
caber - 1/8/07 at 08:59 AM

I have lost 2 of these for my locost build. They look like M12 X30 10.9 bolts. Namrick don't list them so any idea where I can get some? I would also like all new disk to hub bolts not sure of size but these also look like 10.9s

Any help out there?

B&Q sell a good range up to M12 nowadays - but watch out for the tensile rating. You might be better off visiting a local fastener stockist.

A2 stainless is slightly less than 8.8 unfortunately.
I'd give Namrick a call, I'm sure they can get anything you need.

Use socket caps - look miles better.

Are they M16 calipers to tina uprights?

If so, will have some at home that you can have.

Thanks folks, Already discounted B&Q as a soource for just about everything! I bought some M10s for mocking up, deffo not 8.8 I managed to strip one and bent another in the welding jig for my trailing arms!

Namrick may be able to get but not like NOW! and I need to get the beast rolling and stopping this weekend.

Avoneer thanks for the offer please let me know if you find a couple of them I really could use them by the weekend!


Thanks a lot folks!

Possibly stupid suggestion. Ford main dealer?

My experience of a colleague building an mk trying to get anything from a ford main dealer is that this older stuff is never in stock and takes weeks to get it in. This may not be the case everywhere of course..
