tuko Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 On my hybrid I have rock sliders that are bolted to the front cross member via the bulkhead bolt. What appears to be original bolts, I have approx. 5mm thread left. Now I'm installing the bulkhead uprights inside the front fender for the external roll cage. Obviously the original bolts (MRC9420, M12 x 180) are now too short, so I'm wondering how much longer should I go? Would 200 mm be long enough or should I buy longer? What length are you guys using on your prepared vehicles? Cheers, Todd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If you currently have 5mm to spare, add the thickness of the cage upright (no more than 1/4" thick I wouldn't have thought) plus a decent washer to go under the nyloc nut. You may get away with 190 long but with 200 you can always add an extra washer or two . Remember to buy high tensile bolts for this application.

tommeke Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 I've used 200 mm ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
