Does any one know what size the 2 bolts that attach the complete housing to the engine are.
I think they are about 6 - 8 mm allen key heads.

thanks

Andy

I put them (M8 x 2 different lengths) in the envelope to you ..... didn't I ? ... If not they'll be there next week

Ian,
Yes mate got them and they will be going on when I can get the old buggers off.
Lovely job too, the 4 for the top housing are on the replacement ready to go back on.
Its the old ones I am asking about.

They're 6mm Allen head from memory ... but will have decayed into whatever size you need to drag the bu&&ers out Thems is orrible and if there was ever a place for stainless bolts it's there, guess the VW accountants didn't think so.

Thanks

Andy
