early xe sump bolts complete set

[jaywalker]

hi guys need a complete set of sump bolts as ive put mine in an extremely safe place, but guess what its that safe i dunno where they are now lol:cry:

ive seen the stainless ones on a famous site, are these ok or would you be able to advise or anyone have any, also need the bolts for the bottom pulley as they have been rounded off by the previous owner, cheers nova chums:thumb:

Stainless will be fine for a sump, if it's done up to more than about 5Nm you're doing something wrong.

[jaywalker]

ok thanks,

Call Vauxhall and get the bolt size & dimensions, then order some new ones from a fixings place, no point sourcing and fitting second hand bolts IMO.

[jaywalker]

i kmow the sizes of the bolts, i need 12 M6 x22mm & 2 x M6 X30mm but most places like screwfix only do 20mm so will these be ok, also the ones on ebay are a kit but i dont know if to trust it or not as they dont specify lengths of the bolts, there just selling as a sump bolt kit for the xe

[MK999]

2mm is not going to make a huge difference on a sump, it'll leak anyway, it's an XE.

[Iain]

Thought you used shorter bolts if you're using the 8v gasket/baffle anyway, I wouldn't worry about the 2mm.

[jaywalker]

ok thanks guys bought some of ebay now so lets hope the gsi xe will stop leaking for a while lol , should be back on the road in a few weeks n maybe get the chance to come to some events in the future, fingers crossed

How much are the kits on ebay? That lot would cost about £4 in stainless from the fastener supplier I use, screwfix will have your trousers down for bolts, so wouldn't bother

[jaywalker]

they have cost me £5.99 delivered & they are the stainless allen bolts with washers, item 170526806723

yeah i looked at screwfix.. robbing b's

doesn't look bad tbh, cheap enough really, whats the difference of a couple quid eh?
