where do you guys get the big long bolts from, the one that goes through the bottom of the rear upright

I got a kit of bolts and bushes, but stupid people dont seem to differentiate twixt M12 and 1/2"

been to local bolt place and nothing that long in 1/2"

where do you get yours? I have replaced the rest with 1/2" now, was sloppy old fit otherwise LOL

I posted a similar question the other day, linky

thanks, the problem I have is that the bolts are about 12-14" long

had a think and it might be easier to just make new crush tubes and modify the uprights LOL

still cant beleive that I got M12 bolts with crush tubes bored 1/2"

rear suspension on mock up so I could move it about, was like a prick in a shirt sleeve

I am looking for a long half inch bolt to through my rear mx5 uprights (m14). I had to use a 1/2" bolt as my spherical bearings are 1/2". I had 4 reducing bushes machine to go from 14mm to 1/2". Havene't got the bolts yet though.

These are the people I got all my suspension bolts from. I was in the area one day and picked them up, but they also do postage as I got 8 seat belt bolts from them earlier this year.

My bottom rear shock has a longer bolt.
