HELP...... rear suspension bolts

Hey guys and gals happy new year to you all ….

I'm having a mission trying to find the rear suspension bolts for my mk1 …. Its the ones that secure the lower part of the strut to the axle .

Can anyone help ??   :dontknow:  

Many thanks kev

I take it GSF and VW dont do them any more then?

I would just measure the old ones and try and match them up to a bolt on a site like Namrick, I've found them really useful for little bits and bobs for my engine conversion.

Should be available from the main dealership, I paid @£3.50 for each frnt pivot bolt recently its overpriced but at least I know they're the correct grade.

I'll second that. I got some rear bolts in October from VW dealership.

Cheers folks … I found them at TPS in kidlington.
£5.50 for 2 nuts and bolts.

Happy days..

Only door seal surrounds to try and find now lol

Hi, i'm having troble looking for these bolts as well    i'v asked vw dealer he say's there discontinued..?? are they the same as a on a mk2.?
Thanx Shaun

still avail, your dealer prob doesn't know how to check for part number supercession. new numbers are:

N   010 470 1 - bolt, m10x70 - 1.79+VAT
N   102 090 09 - nut, m10 - 0.42+VAT

42p + VAT for a nut, a bargain at half the price!

Cheer's Jonny,
I'll take them details with me and mention about supercession of numbers. tomorrow when i pick some bit's up..
I did think they'd be more expencive the amount being charged for other  bit's,  
Thanx Shaun

Arr.. these codes are for the bolts for the bottom of the susension leg…
I'm after the pivot bolts/washers/nuts for the side mounts
vw said they can't get them..??
Thanx Shaun

Seen several posts about these bolts, thought not quite that easy, i want some myself, big boys toys sounded promising but not heard anything. You can always try a nut/bolt stockist who will most likely be able to supply the size but will probably only be 8.8 strength, allen bolt head come in the higher strength but may be tricky to tighten in situ, assuming can find the correct size.

The bolts are M12x1.5 (fine thread) 148mm length. Beware, there's 2 fine threads for M12 bolts commonly used, 1.25mm and 1.5mm. But then if you're getting new nuts at the same time, it would not matter if you got the finer ones.

A quick 5 minute googls shows £32.61 for 50 bolts and £8 for 200 nuts. Can't find anyone doing them in smaller quantities (yet!)

Forgot to say, those prices are for grade 10.9

HI GUYS IF YOUR STILL HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THESE BOLTS I CAN CHECK AT  WORK TO SEE  IF WE DO THESE'S SIZE'S  AS I WORK FOR A  IRONMONGERS/NUT AND BOLT STOCKIST

I have changed the complete front and rear suspension now and got all the parts from either the VW dealer or VW classic parts in Germany. They got all kinds of cool new replacement parts in Germany. Guess VW is showing some love for the mk1.

Jase any chance you could check for a m12/1.5pitch x 120mm long. Long shot but i gotta try!

yes i will check for you

pivot bolt is deleted but you can order it thru vw classic parts. your dealer can do this, but that depends if he knows how or can be bothered.

N   040 157 3 - M12x1.5x148

you can order them yourself direct from the vw classic parts centre too:

Jonnny do you know wether there to long for front lower arms when fitting a strut brace?

I'v ended up tracking some M12 150mm bolts from a tractor place near by, only thing is you can't seem to get bolts off the shelf with a 10.2 tensile rating.. 8.8 is the best i'v found..
