tuko Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I recently bought an used external roll cage that I want to draft to my hybrid. As I'm in the process of installing the fenders I'm thinking that it's a good time now to install the front braces that bolt between the outer fender and the bulkhead. The bolts on my hybrid look to be too short and searching through Micorcat I found 2 part numbers but no description (ie: length) AM605066 Defender 2007 - AM605061 Defender 1987-2006 Can anybody tell me which bolts I should be using in the application so that the bolt lengths are the correct size. Cheers, Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 my info only shows AM605061 Acme bolt doesn't give any more info on length though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuko Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ralph, I'm using this months MC, if that helps. Wondering though, Safety Device or such, do they provide the bolts with their kits or use the standard Defender ones? Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 you've got a newer issue than mine then, I'd gues that SD were using the earlier number as I doubt the uprights would need much space between the bolt & wing panel to fit, the bolts are only securing a thin panel lip & have a lot of thread that passes through the spirenut on the bulkhead. IIRC when I removed my right front side panel the bolts were around 1 inch [25mm] long & only a few mm of that was taken up by the wing/bulkhead joint.

tuko Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hej Ralph, When you say that the bolt was 25mm long, is that the thread portion? I just measured mine and they were 18mm (thread portion). If yours are longer than mine then I'll be ordering them. Cheers, Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 just a rough guess Todd, long time since I had those bolts out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
