Hollow Threaded Studding
Bumble - 20/5/11 at 04:08 PM

Hi all,
After my post yesterday it's clear that I need to extend my front indicators to meet IVA requirements. Not that difficult but I need some M8 hollow threaded bar. Anyone have some spare or know where I can buy some from.
Cheers,
Matt

I got a friend with a lathe to drill some bolts and drill and tap some aluminium bar for mine.

I just had to replace one of mine, I must have whacked it somehow while it was in the garage!

I just got an M8 bolt, mounted it as best I could vertically in my drill press, and went for it

First attempt ended up coming out of the side, second one was much straighter. Still not perfectly central, but it seems to hold OK.

I also chose some that were M10 which makes it a little bit easier.

yep just turn some up in a lathe.

What sort of length ? Give us a shout if I can help ?
