What material, grade of steel, also what thresd are you after on them?
UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Not sure about the strength. They are for my front wishbones so need to be fairly strong.
Threads are 12mm for the 16mm diameter and 14mm for the 20mm diameter.

Yea would be fine, you should be able to get them at your local hardware store, but make sure they are high tensile

Am I missing something here?
Those Screwfix ones are plain bolts, don't you want shouldered?
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

hmm, those are rather special - can't you use standard bolt but with a tube to sleeve them?

Does it make a difference? I was just thinking it would be alot easier to pop down screwfix later rather than having to wait for them to be delivered.

Do you need a bolt with a 20mm shank (the flat bit) and a 20mm thread? (and 16mm/16mm) Which is what the screwfix bolts are (their HT bolts are
marked 8.8 incidentally so should be fine for suspension)
But that's not what you've drawn (head is also too thin) which I think is causing the confusion.
What you've drawn looks more like the subframe bolt on a mini which has a larger shoulder with a thread of a different diameter.

I was looking for a bolt like i have drawn (what my donor car used) but didnt think about using a normal bolt until after i had posted this thread.
If you think i can use a normal bolt, it will be alot easier
