For what engine?

Kindly take those bent conrods around the back, the gutter's full of them for goodness sake, not to mention parts of your crankcase...

Sorry, ETKA only shows complete conn rod set

025 198 401 A (£850)

Must be a few dead engines someone know's about on here, for a 2nd hander?

if they are the stretch type (which mine are) then you can't re use them (or shouldn't), if they are the reg steel type then you can , but i dont want to mix and match them Clive after the 'weight' thing

Oh drat, sorry, I missed the 'bolt' bit... that was con rods

Bolts
025 105 425 A
Nuts
056 105 427

About £9/bolt + Nut

Both also available in a repair kit (which is the whole conn rod set)

So, did you manage to get the con-rod out without having to split the casing then?

Yes i did , and so did m0cki (he sent the replacement one)
taking it off was a p'o'p ,refitting it could be slightly more difficult , will hopefully be tackling that problem tomorrow .

if it were me i'd be looking for a supplier to industry, or a engine biulders, something like a race machine shop, you got anything like that in the land of sheeps?

or i'd ignor that i'd been told not to refit them....
