Hello.

I need a set of flywheel bolts for my 2.1DJ. They are M12 x 20 with a pitch of 1.5 and a low profile socket cap head (about 10mm depth rather than typical 12mm) although hex would do.

Please let know where I might get some. I've already tried VW, JK, VW Heritage and local fastener suppliers.

Cheers.

Job done - I cut down some overlength set screws and ground the heads to a low profile.

I'm sure you've already checked, are the screws right grade (tensile strength)?

Good point. I used 12.9.
