GS Wheel Bolt Size

[Team GCR]

Hi,

Can anyone please tell me the exact specs for the OEM wheel bolts for a GS?

Also any recommended suppliers for decent ones now we can't get the stainless steel ones?

Many thanks in advance.

Speak to Marios at Autoshield. Sure he can either sort it or put you in the right direction.

They are M14 x 1.5. Standard thread length is 50mm.

Speak to BennyD he has just obtained a new set from Sprogs.

Do NOT buy from FD. They're proper shite, frankly. My longer studs to work with the spacers are going rusty and look a bit grim. Cheap, badly coated cr4p.

For clarity, the FD spacers are brilliantly made. Top quality. It's just the studs which aren't suited to European weather.

Thought sprogs had shut up shop...
Might be interested in some for the QP

He didn't have any and had stopped producing when I enquired. I could do with a set also.

The stainless ones from Sprogs were wonderfully crafted, didn't realise he had stopped making them

I dropped Sprogs a line and this morning and he has confirmed that he is still not in a position to start making them again sadly.

I think I have found someone who can make a set of solid titanium alloy wheel bolts for a very reasonable cost.

Group buy perhaps? I'm just going to remove mine 1by1and buff them on the wheel again, good for 2 to 3 months, just a pain.

My thought exactly I will start a thread once I have run the idea of a group buy past him.

At what cost?

 

[Ewan]

Hi Stewart,

I could do with a set please, subject to cost.

 

[richard_masa_4200]

Me too please subject to cost and postage to Australia.

 

[Team GCR]

I am potentially interested as well subject to confirmation of cost.

Will be interesting to compare the difference in cost between the stainless steel and titanium bolts.

Got mine from Hill Engineering - along with a really nice alloy socket which doesn't take the chrome of the edges - proper pleased with them, and their service. Also got their 15mm spacers. http://www.hillengineering.co.uk/catalog/wheel-related-wheel-bolts-c-138_10.html

Diane at Hill is a treasure - lovely people
