has anyone found a reasonably priced supplier for ET headbolts? nissan is nearly £50, found them for $46 plus shipping but probably get stung for import too. anything in the uk?

If you have access to a machine shop I'd get the existing threads re drilled and tapped to M11, and then you could use the thicker S13 bolts. You need an SR20 bolt for the long one.

But in answer to your question, I don't know.

you dont need to change the head bolts, they are not stretch bolts.

If they have been used in the past and some monkey has over tightened them beyond there yield, then the only safe way is to use new ones.

naah mike its the actual rubber ones, i've got some std s12 ca ones, the fj ones are just a block of rubber, with threaded bar each side, i do have some spares somewhere, but i can't seem to find them yet.
