i think they are both 11mm bolts mate not the usual 10mm stuff

[AndyFielder]

11mm will be far too big me thinks!

i am on about the size of the head mate .
if you get desperate i can get you a complete set of
both sump and water pump bolts .

[AndyFielder]

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!

[MAXIBOY]

think there stupid renault m7

[AndyFielder]

well thats what it looks like but where the hell do i get M7 from!

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?

All the torsion bars i've done....there have been quite a few have been std M10 thread

[AndyFielder]

torsion bars are M10

I think i need M7 but i need a supplier for the screw cap type im using!
