I bought these tie downs:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1425160022.1.png) But the stock bolts seem to be a little short to stick the tie down between the shock & trailing arm while retaining the thick washer under the stock bolt head. The stock bolt is 18mm X 1.5 X 130mm. The tie down is 5mm. Bolts that large typically come in 10mm increments, so I would need 18mm X 1.5 X 140mm. I have found them but for $25 ea plus shipping. Anyone have a source for the bolts cheaper or a trick to installing these with the stock bolts? Are the bolts that have the attachment points for the rear swaybars just a tiny bit longer? |

I pulled two M18-1.5x135mm class 10.9 bolts out of the stockroom. I will go pick them up tomorrow. PM me your address and they are yours for free.
