Trailing arm to body bolts

[Gino]

Hi everyone,

after completing a mini rear suspension rebuild I wanted to have my rear tracking checked. Sadly my local ATS won't do it as the bolts are too rusty & some rounded off. I am on the hunt for the above bolts, number 8 in the link;

They are unavailable from Rimmers. Does anyone know where I can get them from?

Many thanks,

Rob

Another member found these which look a suitable replacement.

I can confirm those linked are in use on my car with no problem. The hexagon is smaller but the flange size is the same and length ok.

Try any get a side drive socket for your rusty/rounded ones. I would imagine you could get them out ok. They are clean in the threaded holes so once you have them cracked undone they will come out ok.

Thanks David,

I ordered these soon after getting up this morning. Hopefully with the bolt removers I now have, it shouldn't be too difficult.
