plantman - 21/3/08 at 08:51 PM

When I removed the disc from my cortina uprights, the M10 retaining bolts were 10.9 spec.

1. what spec bolts have everybody else used??

2. Or where could I get some from?

cheers

You should be able to get 10.9's from any nut bolt specialist. If you are struggling then I think that all socket cap heads are 10.9 as standard.

They have to be hexagonal head bolts for the locking tabs to work.

Which bolt specialist?

No need to use locking tabs nowadays - Locktite will do the job nicely.

will that pass the sva??

Mine did TBH I don't think it is an SVA point and as long as the disc is not falling off, causing the brake action to fail, it should pass.

A drill and some lockwire is a better option...
