Hi all
Any idea where i can get hold of a conrod nut and "bolt?"

Taking them apart came across one that has a stripped thread.
Had a good look on a number of websites and can only find a full conrod set. Obviously I would prefer to just pay for a bolt if I can.
Thanks for your help

VW?
there are two types
re- usable and non re-usable
non re-useable have will fail if re used and over torqued (stretched)
See TheSamba.com
might as well do the shells while your in so deep.
Mains and big ends

Thanks Kev
Going to try VW tomorrow.
The intention is to replace bearings, new barrels and pistons (3 and 4 were blowing), push rod tubes. Heads are good. Thought i'd replace the geabox oil as well while i have the engine out.
About ready to start putting back together this week if i can get GSF in Huddersfield to recognise club80-90 discount, so i can place my order.

If they doubt you tell them to phone Glyn at Derby GSF .... he'll vouch for 80-90 to them.
