bolt questions
« on: 24 February 2012, 11:40 »
I've got some ch reps, 8.5j et35. is it the normal case of tapered bolts needed? they came with longer bolts, is there any danger of using longer bolts? i'm going to order some 20mm spacers for the rear so they will come with the necessary bolts but i'm worried as they are llonger than standard bolts by nearly 10mm

Use standerd size bolts if you have no spacers.

With no spacers you need standard bolts as longer bolts could catch where they pass through the hub.
