V-Dubstar 0 Posted March 31, 2010 Does anyone know the tensile grade the 2 cap-head bolts are that hold the rear carriers on? Im thinking of getting some hex-headed bolts to replace them, but wanna make sure they're the correct grade! Many thanks :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted March 31, 2010 They are 10.9 but I would just get the VW ones - if you buy ones for a late MK3 they are 1mm longer and about half the price of the corrado ones. I would think hex head would be difficult to get onto - VW use the cap head ones for a reason! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fla 9 Posted August 3, 2020 (edited) just been looking for these - seems they're around £5 each! I'm sure they used to be around £1 each a few years back. Any suggested suppliers? Just to confirm the size, these are M10 x 20mm x 1.25 pitch? Thanks Hasan Edit: actually, these look pretty good: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M10-Titanium-Hex-Head-Flange-Bolt-M10x20mm-1-25-pitch/332385621814?_trkparms=aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20160811114145%26meid%3Db7da437653ad4bf3a2b51594df6d0949%26pid%3D100667%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D8%26mehot%3Dnone%26sd%3D151178981141%26itm%3D332385621814%26pmt%3D1%26noa%3D1%26pg%3D2334524&_trksid=p2334524.c100667.m2042 Would the head cause any issues with fitting and access of sockets or should i look for a direct replacement with the hex socket head? Edit#2: Just ordered these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pitch-Tensile-Socket-screws-Colour/dp/B00SN37GVM Look the same as the original ones Edited August 3, 2020 by fla Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1975 10 Posted August 3, 2020 I got a set of four from vw a few weeks back, the corrado ones are dropped now but mk3 golf bolts are virtually the same , they have a shouldered head where as the originals didn't . Can't be a bad thing! Pn. 90688902. Pricey buggers alright at €4.15 + Vat! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
