Re: Carat atiwe bolts
I emailed brickwerks and this was the link they sent me saying front bolts no longer available, how odd

Buy some of their front stud conversions and the correct nuts.

It can be a right pain holding the wheel up and trying to get the bolt in.Studs make it so much easier..

Re: Carat atiwe bolts
I know what your saying about studs but it's not a problem for me screwing in bolts my mk2 golf uses bolts and it's not a problem getting them in
So will the bolts on marlinowner link from brickwerks fit or do I need studs

Re: Carat atiwe bolts
The advantage of the stud conversion kit is that all the nuts match and look like the factory fitted ones. Also the studs are a bit longer than the original, the originals look scarily short with factory alloys, although they do have just enough thread.
Saying that I'm confident that the bolts I linked to would do the job.

Re: Carat atiwe bolts
I'm just a bit wary of the studs in case they work there way out

Re: Carat atiwe bolts
Have no fear, with the correct preparation there will be no issues.
A good clean of everything thing with brake cleaner and then the correct loctite and they do not come loose.
I had mine fitted for 5 years including wheel swaps every year.
