compared to £11 for DET bolts, it's a complete rip off


the reason I want new is because the bolts I took out are 22 years old and I don't trust them, I don't fancy re-sizing the threads in the block either, I've already got the crank in and prepped the bores. I might spec some 12.9 high tensile bolts myself, can't cost more than £15 like that I recon

Whats standard 11.1?

what's that got to do with headbolts? :confused:

probably 10.9, I'll dig the old bolts out and have a look. As they're non stretch they'll only be high tensile anyway, then just need to worry about washers

Sorry meant 10.9, going mad. I'd hope they're not 8.8 anyway

Fair point, im just the type of person that if i need something i dont really worry about price or trying to get things cheaper, maybe im just too lazy to look around lol But thats just me:)

i got some matched length 12.9 cap bolts from a local supplier anything higher was special order,cost £1.25 per bolt

ideal!!! I'll size them up tomorrow then
