yeah the valver/williams bolts with the floating collar break SO easily (they strecth), really crap, i would strongly recommend changing them for solid 1 piece bolts

Both the one-piece and collared bolts break when over-tightened.
Have to always remember to use torque wrench for final bolt tightening, instead of air-gun wrench.

all willys/16valvers originally came with bolts with floating (loose) collars just below the head of the bolt

the new clios have 1 piece bolts, muchos better, i haven't snapped any of those yet

i hear you need that coller cause the standard wheels do not have a steel insert on the wheel? this true
