Support bar- moustache?- bolts

[chenzo]

noticed that there is a bolt missing from the engine support bar :shock: (moustache bar????) - the other one is removed so that I could take a photo. This is the bar that bolts to both sides of the chassis and then to the engine at three points, van is a cross over if it makes any difference?

Any idea what the proper name for that bar is or whether the bolts are available from JK/Heritage? I can't seem to find them on their sites.

Should be just a standard M10 bolt - cut one to size.

Thanks,

no need for a specific bolt then - is the bar known as a moustache bar?

 

[james_stan]

Yep, since early ones had the shape of Hercule Poirot's moustache..

Modern standard metric thread is 1.75 pitch, I have found on my crossover that the larger bolts at least are 1.5 pitch and are a bit more difficult to get hold of. I tried a couple of nut & bolt suppliers to no avail, found some on Ebay.
Might be worth checking before trying to force in the wrong thread!

Mark.
