Hi all I was looking at fitting a strut brace. Does anyone know what diameter, length and grade of bolt to use? I got access to bolts so it's just what to get.  ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

M8x20 should be the ones you're after Aaron.  Like Dan, I too bought a bag of 100 last year for a job and still got 90 or so left. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

Do you not have a Screwfix or the likes near you? Even Wilkinson's sell small bags of bolts. B&Q and Wicks will do the same.________________________________________ Bianca Rallye-S205 GTi6 on ITB's |

Fair enough, I'll use some from work as they will be okay. M8x20. Cool, should look good in a nice zinc coating. Cheers boys. ________________________________________ See the sheer power and might of the lesser known burrowing owl. |

I actually fitted them at the beginning of 2011, so yes they did get road use for around 6 months last year... However, for the last 12 months they haven't left the garage I'll give you that. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |
