Started fitting the wing stays today - fun job that is trying to bend them to the right shape

The MK stays bolt onto the Sierra front hubs using the bottom ball joint and the clamp bolt for the mushroom adapter. I found that M12x60 bolts were not quite long enough, but M12x70 bolts have the same actual thread length, so don't wotk either.

What I'm trying to ask is...can you use M12x70 set screws instead?

They are still 8.8 strength rated right!

Cheers

As long as it says 8.8 or more, anything will do, even if it's too long and you have to cut it down - as long as it's the right diameter.

My preference is always socket caps, but there you go.

Pat...

That's my thinking too, just looking for some more opinions.

Can you get socket cap sets screws?

Nick

Don't think it will really matter if it has a full thread or a shoulder as it is only acting as a clamp in this situation. You can get socket caps with a long shoulder that will fit if it makes you feel better.

Cheers Pat,

I'll use set screws as I've already got some.

By the way did you say that you grew up in Salford?

Nick

Yep...

Long-shot I know, but I went there for 4 years 1992-6 and there was a local guy alled Pat on my Audio Sysytems course....

Nick

Hi Mate,

Can't rember you, but it would have been me!

Hope I didn't upset or annoy you or anything!

It's a small world...

Pat...

amuse and entertain - yep

certainly is a small world though...

Nick

Very small world!
