As title says, have advertised before but thought id give it another try before i import some from overseas.
These are the bolts that hold the hub to the rear arm, big buggers about 10" long.
Need the bolts and nuts, and thread on bolts must be all good.
If anyone in NZ has these please PM me how much your after for them.
Cheers
Bryce

Have you tried a bolt shop? I suspect they won't be much help.

Failing that go to a general engineering shop. You should be able to get some made for not too much. I'd suggest considering using a long stud type bolt with nuts on both ends. This should be piss-easy for an engineer to make out of some bar stock and 5 mins with a thread die.

Yeah tried a fastener place, said they had nothing like them.
Worst case scenario il have an engineer fab some up but would rather just find someone who has them sitting around and grab them :)

Guilty. I just thought I might have some spare though from the 5 stud conversion I have, will check tonite if they are there and txt you.

I may remove from my car for you at the weekend if I find something to put in there to keep it a roller.
