Strut to hub bolts

[mikey-mk]

Hiya everyone.

So I'm after the above, for an Audi 80/90 quattro and the ascociated nuts (hexagonal head bolt BM12X1,5X74 and hexagon nut, self-locking M12X1,5).

Now I've just been informed by good old TPS that they no longer produce them and have not been superseeded.

Can anyone recommend a supplier? Or source of them.

Regards.

Michael.

Thanks for the reply fella.

There is a place here in Milton Keynes, though it's only open 9-5 Monday to Friday. Which is when I'm at work.

The other hardware places we have, don't really cater for high tensile bolts.

So was hoping for a recommended online suggestion.

You need to be aware that these are stretch bolts.

Sorry to hijack Bo, but i have run into this NLA bolt issue, and found that N 0101835 is the rear wishbone to subframe bolt from the B5 quattro platform - also an M12 x 1.5 x 75 and AFAIK also a stretch bolt - any reason we can't use that for the 3B hub to strut bolts?

This is the bolt I used on my 3B last month. It's spot on and available from Audi.

I was always told to replace them as they were stretch bolts.

Nice one, i didnt fancy trawling vagcat for an equivalent or try to explain to the staff at TPS what i was after. They only do part number or reg, not thinking there.

I owe you Sidrick.
