Technical Alert: Safety Notice Affects '33 Hot Rods and Mk4 Roadsters

[geoffav]

Can someone post the specs for the correct replacement bolts for all of the button heads for the 33 front suspension. I want to buy them local.

Spindle to arm bolts - M12-1.75 x 50mm 4 total
Lower arm short - 1/2-20 x 1.5in. 4 total
Lower arm long - 1/2-20 x 2.0in. 2 total

Use grade 8 (10.9 metric) or higher

Anyone with Cycle fenders on a 33 would not need the spindle to steering arm bolts as they are replaced in that assembly.

Thanks Jim. I'm an open wheel guy so that's the info I needed. I never received them back in 8/10 and never got a reply from anyone else. I think my address is wrong in FF records but thankfully my MSO is good. If I can't find new hub nuts (without buying hubs) I will probably just reuse the current nuts.

If you guys want the ultimate in fasteners, go to aircraft hardware, sometimes referred to as AN hardware. Coast Fabrication offers anything yuo may want. If they don't have it in stock, they can make it!
