Where did everyone get longer bolts from? Noone I have spoken to sells the m12 1.25 thread bolts. Did you change to 10.9 m12 coarse threads?
BEHOLD!!! Pics of steering dampener

i would rather stick with what is there. in saying that i cant even see the grading witten on the genuine bolt.
the big questio is does anyone knwo the thread pitch of th m12 bolt they use for the idler arm? i am having trooubler finding m12x110-120 with a thread pitch of 1.25. everyone wants a killing for the bolts as they are so rare. when i had a look at the bolt thats on there it doesnt look liek a 1.25 thread pitch

hye rusty, have a chat to zordo and get him to send you some old d40 or d22 body bolts. thats what we used when we installed my steering damper. they're more than long enough to do the steering damper and the idler arm brace.

yeah mate, they're m12x1.25, and are about 120-130mm long, perfect for the job, and being a body bolt, they are high tensile.

Good job Rusty! Now you just need to get your intercooler reworked.
On the bolts. I can remember paying a bit for them and thinking it was a bit pricey.

Good work, but I cant see your bushes lasting very long.
Also, I was always leed to belive steering dampeners were only usefull with bigger (33''+)
tyres??

It is one of those things where people advise to put them on if you have 33" or bigger that has transformed to a "Only for 33" or bigger".
I noticed a difference straight away and it was like driving a different car handleing wise. I advise to fit one even if you are running 31".
