tomatoe Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Does anybody know where I can get a replacement bolt for the rear strut brace? One of the four bolts has sheared.... Any help much appreciated as i'm struggling on this one! *the photo is before the bastard bolt sheared* Edited February 23, 2017 by tomatoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Do you mean the part that is captive? Did you not get the brace to sit flush on the strut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomatoe Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 One of the longer bolts (highlighted) sheared. I couldn't get it to sit flush as not all the bolts are the same length and there's not a level base. The two longer bolts I think come out of a slightly raised part of bodywork. Does any of that help? Spotted a three point brace I'm after but want to know I can sort the broken bolt before shelling out! Ta. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMX-RIG Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Cant remember how they look without the brace off, but i would assume your only option is to drill it out and use a bolt, but its not something i would like to do. Is it an oem 3 point your after? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tomatoe Posted February 23, 2017 Author Share Posted February 23, 2017 Knew I should have taken a "before" shot... Yep after the OEM brace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BMX-RIG Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Love that white paint... lol, bit awkward really, as i say i think the best option would be to drill it out and nut and bolt it from underneath. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
