Go down to Lee Bros in Dunlop St, Nth Parramatta and take a good bolt with you. You want Grade 8, 3/8" UNC x wharever the length is. Or, chuck `em all away and fit studs & nuts (better). 
You can pinch all the ones from your other 998? motor. 
If you do this, only use 40-42lb/ft torque. |

Hi Gafmo, Mini door or internal hollow door? If the latter, JAM could help, he's experienced at renovations! Glad to see it came out, I was about to offer my ezi-outs if you needed them. Kevin. |

Boy am I lucky...not so angry now Do what Doc says and put studs and nuts on it. The bolts are to long and eventually twist and break. The nut/stud arrangement will not do that. |

Probably not helped by the fact we took another .050" off the head..
Yeah, I like studs too! Stock Mini ones are OK, but if U got money to burn, buy ARPs.
