Big Pat Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Can anyone tell me what size and type of bolts I need for fitting a tow bar to my MK1 Diso? Or do I just use off the shelf stuff. I measured the holes in the tow bar at 12.77 mm on the top and 11.98 on the side struts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M&S Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 So long as they are 8.8's you can use off teh shelf stuff. Going by your hole sizes you'll want 12mm and 10mm bolts. I thought they would be 14mm through the towball though... I get mine from the local JCB/Tractor place. Anywhere liek that should sell tehm loose so you can buy just a couple.

Big Pat Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Cheers M&S will get some tomorrow. I think the 14mm bolts are for mounting the actual ball hitch. I just need to ones to mount the main plate and the side stays; the ball hitch is already mounted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Hancock Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Ball hitch should be M16 or 5/8" diameter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deej Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The bolts that go through the top of the main plate to the rear chassis crossmember are M12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teabag Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 The two front bolts are M12 x 130mm long you will also require two spacers ANR3629 but that depends on the tow bar you are fitting ie. 200 or 300 series. The two bolts to the bumper are again M12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
