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). :wink:
You can pinch all the ones from your other 998? motor. :P
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.

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. 8)
