Zetec cam bolt
avagolen - 16/4/11 at 01:47 PM

Hi all,

I require a replacement bolt to hold the camshaft gear on my silvertop.

I had the misfortune of stripping the torx on one and had to drill the head off to remove it.

I think it had been overtightened, so maybe I need 2 !!!!

Where should I start?
I have not seen them for sale apart from on the Bay of E at £45 from the USA.

Are the blacktop ones the same? I've got a couple of old blacktop heads in the shed. You are welcome to any bolts off them.

Hi Stu, I have no idea if they are the same.

Please can anyone advise.

If they are, I would gratefully accept them - beer tokens ???

I got some from Ford Parts Dept for a few ££ - £1.50 a bolt i think
