yeah.. mite need to do that.

Just i was hoping to replace everything with high grade hex head ones.

Just the diameter of the bolt i cannot match :(

Lots of cash i have wasted on M6 which are the wrong size... too small!

This might help... when I was trying to find a right bolt size to take out the torsion bar it wasn't m8 or m10 it seemed like m9, turned out afaik it was like m8 but with a different kind of thread on it (or m10 with different thread can't remember)

so it didnt have the conventional thread on the bolts that ud find in the shops it was a different type if that makes sense.

Not a bolt expert tbh so hope that makes sense, why don't you head over to a nut/bolt suppliers?

It was on a 106 gti I think...

Either way make sure its not just a different thread type on an m8 or m6 bolt, thats more than likely what it is. As trying to source an m7 bolt is pretty tricky.

If you read that you'll see what I mean. The bolt you want is probably an M8 with a different thread pitch to the ones you're trying.
