Longer bolts For TT

[jfman]

Does anyone know whjere I can get longer bolts for the TT ? I need to replace mine badly and I remeber reading about somebody on here who had bought longer ones.

If anyhting, does anyone know the size and thread pitch of the threads on those bolts.

 

[jfman]

Anybody ?

I might be wrong, but I believe the thread size is m 175

Look for a business called fastenal

 

[jfman]

I'm gonna go buy a stock one tomorrow so I can fit a longer one in a parts store. I hope they dont want too much for that bolt at the stealership...

the longer size is m12-1.75x100mm but you have to round the heads off a little b4 installation

No it actually doesnt because the suspension travel cycle stays within the limits of the cv's......it has been disscussed in some old threads...

I went out there and Measured my stock bolts. They measure only about 65mm.

I'm thinking of ordering the 100mm ones and the 120's as back ups in case I go crazy.

 

[jfman]

thanks alot btw !

They have a hub right here in the atl so hopefully I will get them quick.

 

[zhanx]

trust me on this one the 100's are WAY long enough dont go bigger.

Just a side note the Stock adjuster bolts are Grade 10.9 not 8 or 8.8, the difference in tensile strength is around 30,000 pounds, so just something to think about if doing this mod.

The 10.9 grade M12 is not available in a full thread at anything over 60mm to my knowledge, I brought the M12*110 Grade 10.9 Bolts, they are only threaded a ¼ of the way, so I am going to jump on a lath tomorrow at work and turn the shank down to the correct diameter and tap the full length of the bolt in M12-1.72 then shorten it to 90mm and round the end.

Will let you all know how it goes.

Cheers..
