need a 10.4 graded bolt for the 2 main ones, the smaller one is 8.8.  I know this becasue thats what I got with my BBM solid mount, anything less will snap, just ask sc0rian from the other forums :grin:

been busy painting the house all week so still haven't fitted the solid mount :angry:

10.4 is this the thread type/size of the grade of steel/alloy? I thought they were M10 and M8 bolts thats all???

I'll have to have a look in our stores!!! :lipsrsealed: :lipsrsealed:

Stainless/carbon steel bolts do the job??

10.4 is the strength of the bolt, its usually stamped on the bolt head :)

yeah sorry about not supplying bolts. the first batch i ordered came with them. the ones i sent out recently came to me bare and i didn't have the info as to what they were meant to be. i asked the guy who "designed" them and he never got back to me and to be honest i forgot to chase him up.

well it is finally fitted! (Using high tensile bolts!)

Can't say there is that much extra vibrations, although it does kick a bit when you first start up, after that only a tiny bit of vibration at idle.
Only drove about a mile so can't really say if it has made any differnce - but the gear change is deffo more positive. :wink:
