Hi all,
I need some help please. I'm trying to finish install of subframe and sway bar on TR7V8. I'm almost there, hopefully one last trip to hardware store but need actual sizes.

Bolt lengths specificity.
I've included Rimmer and Vicky Brits catalog numbers

Front brake - CALIPER MOUNTING BOLT
Rimmer# UKC9572, UKC9571,
VB#12-5167, 12-8385

Front Suspension - BOLT LEVER ARM
Rimmer# UKC9570
VB# 12-3603

Any confirmation on sizes would be greatly appreciated
Cheers mlc

Don't know the various part numbers, but what you need is;
• M12 x 35mm
• M12 x 50mm
• M12 x 55mm
Standard M thread pitch.
You'll need two of each.
Make sure you have the correct grade,
I always use 10.9 bolts on suspension and brakes.

Thank you, Beans. That is what I needed.
I ordered through Victoria Brits catalog this morning as I was only able to find a few of the items locally. Driving around town for $2.00 bolts was getting tiresome.

Wish I asked this a few days ago.

Cheers
