bolts to mount zetec

trogdor - 29/1/07 at 01:56 PM

hi,

i have acquired some plate steel and some box section with which to make my engine mounts for a zetec, i also have the rubber mounts too.

however what bolts do i need to bolt the mounts to the engine? i know the size is 10mm but what thread are they and what length do i need?

any sources for these would be great too!

many thanks

They are just standard M10.

don't suppose anyone knows where i can get some from? if i get M10 bolts what length do i need?

sorry i sound like i am too lazy to do it myself but will only have a day to get a V4 out and the zetec in, i also am 4 hours away from it and if i have the bits before hand it makes it much easier!

many thanks

If you are desperate B&Q sell nuts and bolts, but any fastener store will sell M10 bolts. Did you want to order them online?

Sorry, don't know the length, but if you get some long fully threaded bolts then you can at least cut them down to the required length.

well to be honest i wasn't sure what bolts to get, i don't want them to shear on me so i wanted to know if there was a certain type of bolt and where to source them from, will the B and Q ones be ok?

guess i am worrying about this to much, and its not difficult to cut them down like you say
