Drive Shaft Bolts...
The Great Fandango - 13/8/07 at 03:54 PM

On the scrounge for those long black torx head bolts which hold the drive shafts to the diff...

The heads of two of mine sheared off when I tried to undo them (strange, because the others came off fine and were well copper greased).

Has anyone got any spare or can advise where to get them?

Cheers

Kyle

I would use standard cap heads - easy and cheap.

second that

from memory they are M8x50 grade 12.9 (can someone confirm that??)
take one of your old bolts to compare them - I got all 24 for less than £10 and that wasn't cheap shop

Thanks for that guys, I'm going to contact FastPack tomorrow...

This might just be the place I've been looking for... Have been eager to find a nut'n'bolt place near Leeds for a while. Also heard there's a good place in Bradford?

Try these as well, use them a few times, worth a call as they are nearer.
