rear axle bush bolt size??
« on: 29 May 2010, 15:38 »
i have just bought me some vrs rear axle bushes, front top mounts and some new shock absorbers.. i am going to have a go at making my own tool from some threaded bar and some box section.
does anyone know the size of the bolt that goes through the bush so i can pick up the right size nuts and threaded bar?..

If you have the bushes measure the hole just to confirm.
