Tie Bar bracket bolts

[Edd]

Are the tie bar bracket bolts that screw into the rear of the cross member a odd size thread ?

I had always thought they were the same bolts as the engine mount to block ones ?

Using these ones it felt tight on the thread

Can anyone confirm if there are different or not please :)

The small captive bolt is an odd size IIRC, then the two that go through the crossmember are same thread as engine mount bolts

[Edd]

:( that's what I thought :(

Those bolts are NLS at vauxhall now as well

Anyone got a idea what thread they are ? And where to get some from ?

[mk1nova_rich]

I'll try find out for you in a bit when I go outside

[Paul]

Its just a metric fine thread, get some from a bolt shop.

[MattBrown]

Same as gearbox front bolts IIRC

[John]

Matt they're not the same thread, they're fine thread, paul is right, wind gearbox bolts in at your peril. Might have a few used ones somewhere Edd.

[Edd]

I tried to put a gearbox one in and noticed straight away that it wasn't right :eek:

If you do have a couple spare that would be ideal John :)

[John]

Will have a look and let you know tonight :)

[John]
