Rear Shocks...

[froggy]

Anyone know the size of the mounting nuts and bolts both top and bottom?
Going to replace mine but looks ike the nuts and bolts will shear off because of how rusty they look so want to get replacements before starting.
Guessing there about an M12 but what length?

Hi Froggy

Hows the engine rebuild going?

cant find a thing on the rear shock mounts but found this on VAGCAT.com for the fronts:

VW part number: N 10270601

hexagonal head bolt / M12X1,5X102

Looks like you can still get the front ones from main dealers might be worth a visit to the VW dealer in donnington and seeing if they can help or shrewsbury.
