Advice please on 2.1wbx con rod bolts

Post by weimarbus »

As the thread title says does any one have any advice on replacing con rod bolts, the options appear to be 1 to use standard type 1 non stretch bolts, 2 wait for maybe 6 weeks for stretch bolts from germany or 3 pay a fortune for ready to fit con rods. Not keen on option 3 as the small end bushes are as good as new. any thoughts please.
