As I've been stripping the car, I've been bagging up bolts and writing on what they are. Stupidly, I've just put "suspension" on one... There's 4 bolts, 2 are definately the tie bar to crossmember bolts, the other 2 I have no idea. :roll:

Does anyone know what's what?

Cheers in advance!

ones on the left are tie to crossmember
ones on the right look like engine mount- bracket bolts

Hard to tell, with nothing else in the photo theres no perspective on how big the bolts are. The bolts with washers I don't recognise at all though, I didn't come across those when changing the bolts on my SR, I didn't remove the whole engine though, so they may well be mount bolts.

Cheers! I think they're rear gearbox to chassis bolts... :)

Thanks all.

They're all 22mm hence why it was confusing.

Just looked on OPELOEM.com, think I'm right.
