alloy rear gearbox solid mount bolts...

[boyd_1989]

ive recently bought a alloy solid rear gearbox mount off of some 1 on here but it didnt come with any bolts, i tryed to fit it the other day but realized i needed longer bolts, so went up to the screw shop today jacked up the car and took out 1 of the bolts so he could match it for me but he said he didnt have any so were do i look now? any links to somewhere that sells them would be much appreciated... thanks

The one bolt that goes through the mount? In theory you shouldn't need a longer bolt as it still pases through the original bracket that goes either side of it?

What did the bloke say it was, size wise? Something unusual or just a crap shop?

[boyd_1989]

its the other 2 bolts mate, need to be about 10 - 20 mm longer , i think the guy just didntt know what he was doing lol ... yh crap shop. shall i just try another screw / bolt shop? will that be easier? thanks

Oh they're a funky thread aren't they? Might be worth a trip to Vauxhall to get the right size/thread even if you don't buy them from there.

Aren't they just an M10 nut and bolt?

Mazz the ones that go into the car floorpan that hold the mount to the car...

I think they are M10 x 1.25, normal M10 pitch is 1.5. If you can find who sells the mounts of eBay they can supply the bolts.
