Cheers mate, arrived safe and sound

These bolts are 5mm longer than standard and the thread is exposed from both ends so be careful when fitting them. When I We The Garage ( ) fitted mine the bolt torqued up, but was still a bit proud - turns out it had torqued against all the crap that had gathered in the end of the thread, so had to give them a thorough clean first, could have wobbly wheels if not

I did mention this, I'll add a note with the sets I send out from now.

Now I found a couple of watch outs

1.If like me your original bolts are less than 50mm then you’ll need to run a longer bolt in and out to clean down the thread, or ideally a M10 tap. As if you don't you'll get a false torque reading when you do the bolt up.
2.Due to the low head design you need to be careful when you apply the torque as there's less material to load up than in a std. socket head design. I found this as one of my 8mm Allen key socket attachments has larger chamfers on the corners so didn't load up the bolt easily.

Hi, I'm a new member here, but already a long time lurking the VX220 forums. Yesterday I dismanteled my front upper wishbones and found 2 very bend hubcarrier bolts... Time for some uprated bolts! Is there a new waiting list for this group buy, or do you still have the 10.6 sets in stock? Please PM me the additional cost for shipping to Holland. Thxs, Frank

I'm sending out numerous packages tomorrow the prices including the pay pal fees are £7 for one set and £12.50 for two if the stupid b1tch behind the counter will put them through as a large letter not a package, as it cost an extra £0.58 then. Some people have not been adding the paypal fees and some people have added a bit more, under the spirt of the group buy forum I'm making nothing on these* so in future anyone not paying enough to cover the cost ain't getting the bolts. For those in europe I'll find out the costs tomorrow. * the amount of hassel this has been I'm never doing anything like this for cost again.
