Club 80-90 Forums

You know, the 4 that bolt the ball bit to the under bumper bit.

Mines got 3x big ones, (measured them a couple of weeks ago but vans in menders at the moment so can't check) think they were M14x80 in 10.9 grade. Nuts on the back look like wheel nuts and they foul the rear pannel (mainly because of bolt length). Is that normal or should they be shorter with normal nuts?

The 4th one is much smaller dia so blatently not right. Someone might have unbolted it in the past and lost all the bolts so bodged in 4 of what they could find.

Wondering what they are ment to be before I try getting a set of M14x70mm in atleast 10.9.

Just been out and checked mine. They should be Standard M14 x 65mm Grade 10.9 and should be well clear of the bodywork. Your local engineering shop should be able to help there
