Tell me your duratec bolt sizes
FuryRebuild - 11/5/12 at 01:56 PM

Dear All

As part of stripping and building my duratec (not remotely finished) i've found out that there are some odd sized or typed bolts in there under the covers. These have necessitated more than one late evening rush to get to halfords to by a 3/8 torx drive whatchamacallit because my 1/2 inch drive wouldn't fit in the hole, etc.

I've started maintaining a list of them on my blog here but it will take me a while and I'm bound to miss something.

If you have any sizes or reflections you'd like me to include, please let me know and I'll incorporate them.

I'm also aware that locostbuilders is an incredibly rich resource of information, so I'll be very sure to reflect the information I manage to build up both back here and to credit you and the site. Quid Pro Quo.

What I really want to do is help anyone else run into the late night dashes or frustrations I've had to go through.

Just chuck your information into the thread or comment on the site and I'll edit away for you.

Thanks
Mark

ARP uprated con rod bolts require an E12 socket

For the ARP bolts I've ordered, I'll list their part numbers next to the ones I'm replacing.

NTS, i will plonk a disclaimer out there.
