Does anyone know where i can get the bolts for the wishbone/subframe mount? GSF say VW, VW say they don't do them.
Help me please :undecided:
-
is there not a generic "fasteners" shop near you that you could take the old ones to?
-
I have no old ones :lipsrsealed:

trip down the breakers then Ben :lipsrsealed:

Ask AdamMK2 for the postcode of breakers he took me too, they had a few MK2 Golfs there, at least a few 1.3s and a 1.6s (didn't stay long enough to look for a GTi) not sure if the sub frame bolts will be the same as those on the GTi? Are they the same sub frame?

I'm in Pompey, but cheers anyway :smiley:

Hmm, trip to bloody Silverlakes tomorrow then. Hate that place........

Actually, i've assumed the ones that VW Spares sent me are wrong. They rattle around inside the wishbone mount, even though i have fitted the little metal sleeve into the mount. Any ideas people?
-
Well, looking at a (rusty) spare atm, it's a 19mm joby, with a 75mm shaft (total), and the shank isn't threaded for atleast............37mm from the head. I think its an M12 thread with a 1.5 pitch, and has a slight point to its end. Thats what came out of mine anyways when I did the bushes, and I reckon its the original thing.

Go onto ETKA to get the full sizing spec.

Parts departments are very variable. For those in Sheffield I find the Hillsborough one excellent :smiley:

Was gonna say that VW do do them. Thats where I got mine lol

I think it might be due to the subframe being ever so slightly different, I've noticed on the Corrado/MK3 it has 2 long bits that extend back and are bolted to the bottom of the chassis, I wonder if it is the same on the Rallye/G60 and is ever so slightly thicker at the bolt mounting holes? Either that or the floorpan area may be a bit thicker under there for a bit more stiffness, or simply its down to a slight difference on pans fitted to cars with cable change boxes?
Dunno :grin:
