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.

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
