Once again, Just wondered what size this would be? Is it Metric or imperial?
I know I used a lot of Metric last build, and although it fitted, it was not a snug fit and in the end was the wrong bolt. This could have resulted in a disaster on the road, so I want to make sure this time I fit the exact bolts :-)
Cheers
Nick

As far as I know, M10 fits for all suspension parts (uprights, wishbones, shocks). I used 12.9 strenght in stead of the normal 8.8. Don't want the suspension to come off  |

Yeah I will be going for 12.8, I did that on my MNR with exactly the same view, I want the very best of high tensile bolts insuring I don't end up in a tree or a Police Car  |

I have used the following:
4x wishbones to frame are: 8x M12 x 65mm
2x Shocks to frame and wishbone: 4x M12 x 55mm
2x Bearing house: 6x M10 x 30mm and 2x M10 x 25mm
2x Wings: 4x M10 x 40mm
2x Lower ball joint: 4x M10 x 25mm
2x Willwood Brakes: 4x M10 x 70mm
I used standard bolts. 300 kg of car so 8.8 will do just fine.

Probably will the standard bolts do fine. But I don't know how the dynamic force will be during riding. So that's why I took the stronger ones. |

I'm confused by the metric designations (stuck here in the US of A)
I thought a M10 x 25 described the bolt. What is the 4 x in front stand for?
