studbolt material

[Henkjan]

I bought an STR from Nenad, and this is what my "friends" at the Dutch post did with it:

now I will try to straigthen them with the generic tool first, but I might buy new studbolts if that does not work. does anyone know what material the bolts are? or a good place to buy them?

Steel? PN = N 10169301 M8 x 50 = dealer or Pete at quattrocorner, etc.

Butchers! Just get new studs, I'd be more worried about the manifold

thanks, had not expected it to be sold separately

visually it seems OK

Who has had a bite at the WG flange? And did it taste nice?

[caterpillar]

hahahaha!!! i se the toothmarks in the wg flange; yesss.... buy new studs...!!!

I think you have to mod the flange a bit so it clears, i'm sure there was a thread on here a few years ago showing what needs doing.

You should be able to buy studs from the likes of ebay or most machine shops quite easily.

Just because you have a PN, it does mean that they are still available. At least you know more about them now.

so the material is 8.8?

[caterpillar]

normal it the 8.8... but i think the stud at the wg flange or the small stud around the audi have more strenght than so.... but in this choise... it for the WG in a standing still part,/ it will not rotate as a wheel, or a main part in the subrframe... so use the threded bar...
