Chimaera PAS Steering bolt size??

[China100]

Hi Guys

Does anyone know the bolt sizes of the 4 power steering bolts?

and, the front anti roll bar clamp bolts that holds roll bar and bush in place?

Front anti roll bar clamp bolts I'm sure are M10 (17mm spanner required). Mine were anyway when I took it off in October. VERY fiddly to get back on if you are leaving the radiator in.

No PAS on mine so can't help you there.

Thanks Ian - much appreciated!

If you are talking about the 4 bolts that are used to bolt the rack to the chassis then they will be the same for both types of rack.

The head size is 13mm and I am sure that they are a metric thread, (size unknown to me).

When I did a wishbone change and suspension removal last year, I found almost all information I needed here.

Using the search facility I found bolt sizes, recommended part suppliers (other than TVR themselves with the extra 'tax'), torque settings, tips on procedures, etc. The only problem is that with photobucket going to subscription only, a lot of old threads have no photos displayed any more.
