Title: WTB: Spring Plate Bolts, or tell me the correct size/grade please . .
Post by: iceneweb on April 09, 2011, 06:49:52 PM

Looking for the three spring plate bolts on each side where the axle tube bolts on.

They are M12, and a special strength, but I would take some used ones. Otherwise, has anyone had any luck with local suppliers to get these? Anyone know the correct length?

FYI. Stopped by Fuller this morning. They don't sell out of this location, sign on the door says to go to Alder Auto Parts. I went to Alder on 96th Ave. and they have quite a good selection of hardware. Managed to find what I was looking for.
