NUTS!!!!!!!!!!
« on: 12 July 2009, 20:42 »
You lot should definately be able to help me out here seeing as alot of you have done your shockers. Where can I get the three nuts that go on the top of the rears? I suspect there are different types for different makes. Mine are standard boges. Cheers.

good idea, but there must be somewhere i can get them new for cheap seeing as it is a common replacement part.??

i went to vw but they could not confirm what thread size there nuts are, and they dont have any on the shelf. I require super fine thread pitch, the ones on my old shocks are a coarse thread. :sick:

surely if they ordered the nuts you need they will be the right size if standard?

go to a nut and bolt place with a shocker and buy some (nylon) lock nuts....I've used them loads of times in the past

Should be supplied with the shocks, if not try a nut / bolt suppliers
