Fury rear wishbone outer pivot bolt 1/2"
Markymark - 3/12/17 at 11:58 AM

Hi guys

I'm sure I didn't dream this but can't seem to find it, someone posted about pivot bolts in 1/2 inch and said they couldn't get any.

Well, went to see Steve at Fury on Thursday, mentioned I needed some, pulled 2 out of a bin on the wall and gave them to me.

So in short Steve does have them after all

Hope you see this post and you get sorted

Got mine from Arun fasteners.

Hi joneh (predictive text just called you honey!)

Was it you who asked the original question, as at the moment I'm doubting my memory!

Will keep them in mind if I need anything else

No not me. Got all my bolts a few years ago.

Changing them, and all other wishbone bolts made a difference Tommy cars handling. It seemed to tighten it all up and gave me more confidence as I had better predictability.

Out of interest, what bolts did you change them to?

I might be mixing my posts up here - but essentially the Fury Chassis had Metric holes on the Chassis but the MK2 Escort used imperial bushes. You're left with 0.7mm wiggle room on each bolt which adds up.

I had to ream my Chassis to take the imperial bolts.

Edit - This might not apply to the later Sierra chassis that the OP is talking about...

It might have been me on the JPSC forum? Steve only had 12mm at the time but he contacted me later to say he was getting some in so sorted.

Thanks,

Hi Martin

Thanks for the reply, glad you got it sorted.

That's why I couldn't find it when I searched, could have sworn it was on here!

At least I'm not going too senile

I swapped out all of my metric bolts for Imperial ones. A good year or so back someone asked what lengths and provided an annotated picture to identify locations. Have a search to find out.

I also had to by a 1/2" drill bit to reem out the holes on the chassis.
