Guys,

There are a handful of bolts I need to order in where the sizes haven't been quoted in the WiKi. Before I start rummaging through the pile of bits on my garage floor, I wonder if anyone knows the sizes to the following:

Diff
The bolts that attach the brackets to the front of the diff. IIRC these are M10 coarse socket head but how long are they? Also, although the diff holes are threaded, mine also had nylocs on the end... Are these just to stop it working loose?
Upper rear bracket to diff. M8 Socket head??? Again, what length are these?

Rear ARB brackets/clamps to chassis. M8? How long??

Rear Lower Wishbone. What is the thread on that front adjuster (just the simple threaded rod with the bush on the end)? Is it just a normal washer there or is there anything special?

Cheers,

M

Diff
The diff front uses M12 x 30 Socket Head.
The rear bracket uses 2x M10x30 & 2x M10x40 Socket Head.

Rear ARB bracket uses 4x M6x25 with a pair of M6x15 on the other side.

The rear lower wishbone is still a mystery but it’s looking like an M12 with a fine pitch thread.

I’m off to update the bolt WiKi now... smile

There's a sticky at the top of the Cerbera page, which Tanguero has started, to list all of the different bolts used in the Cerbera.

Which rear wishbone bolt? All the suspension bolts on mine were UNF

The fine pitch thread that's on the end of the adjuster, which slots into the main Rear Lower Wishbone assy - AKA Rear Lower Front.

M12 x 1.25 rings a bell but I cant find it in my notes (or shopping list!)

That looks a lot tighter than 1.25 not sure what it is, had a look through my files to no avail.
