I'm trying to find some high strength bolts for the engine mounts. I need M10 fine x 80mm and M10 fine x 150mm. Everywhere seems to only offer these as hex head 8.8 or stainless soft as cheese versions. Anyone know where i can get some 12.9 grade?

Also can you buy 12.9 grade studding? Currently using bog standard 8.8 for the other mounts but have already bent one.

TIA

I got similar but in M8 from PTS

Thanks Chris. I just bought standard studding so 4.8 would explain why it bent so easily. I'll go lookign for some 8.8.

Cheers Jim. I'll check out their site.

Namrick were my first call but they couldn't help.

12.9 is standard supply at my local fastnings shop for cap head bolts, 8.8 for hex bolts. Also I am pretty sure the mounts are not fine thread in the top mounts. I'm sure I have some left over I can measure the length if you want. Instead of using studding for the lower mounts I was advised to tap the engine to M12 and use bolts.
