Engine mounting bolts for full case 1/2 VW
« on: February 12, 2020, 09:26:50 PM »
I had a 10mm #8 bolt break on my full case 1/2 VW installation in my XL.  I thought I was buying a grade 8.  I am told that a 10mm #8 bolt is not a grade 8.  A metric bolt should be #9.9 to match a grade 8.
Does anyone have a source for 10mm VW mounting bolts or studs? (grade 8 or 9.9)?

Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

boltdepot.com has coarse and fine thread 10mm 10.9 bolts. I get almost all my metric and special bolts there.
