either get some new ones from vauxhall , or go scrapers and get them , you're goin to need them

[Will F]

You will need to loosen the other two off also - otherwise you WILL cross-thread them.

TJust get some new ones. Will be pence.

Same as engine mount bolts if iirc.

Yip! Engine mount bolts for the win :thumb:

[Graeme]

There not a standard bolt mate they are a m10 but a 1.25 pitch which nearly no one will stock, I've tried recently, I say a scrappy or the really helpful folk at the Vauxhall trade counter

They're not the same thread pitch iirc! Please check the thread pitch first!

[Graeme]

The engine is a standard M10, the tie bar are a finer thread as John said

[CoolTiger]

same as gearbox bolts aswell iirc

[John]

I'm 100% sure that engine mount bolts will Not fit in the tie bar mount holes. They're finer thread, as graeme stated.

[Mike]

I trust youve not been driving it about with both those bolts missing????

[John]

Just to prove myself right, i've just been and taken this pic, tie bar bolt on left, gearbox bolt on right, clearly different thread sizes. Please do not put gearbox bolts in your tie bar mounts!

In the picture you posted "xe" conversion?

[John]

Not quite with you, but the bolts are placed on the inner wing of a nova having an xe conversion, yes.

Strange, i would've said that if the threads were different then it would be very obvious when screwing them in. Cross threading etc. :confused:
Mines went in no bother and tightened up just fine and dandy!

[Benn]

Xe flywheel bolts work ;)

Was gonna say engine and gear box bolts arent right.

[The Simps]

Hmmmm....

I must have got lucky then! My tie bar bolts were in with my mount bolts in a box and I just grabbed one to go in the other day! lol
