what size bolts/screws for front fog covers
 
Just got myself some genuine front sti front fog covers for my sti 3, they didnt come with any bolts or screws to fit them on with, what size are the original bolts pls?

tanyatriangles 21 September 2009 11:46 AM

Do they fit into the foglight mounting holes? Those are M6 x30mm.

BLU 21 September 2009 08:56 PM

Have you got the brackets as well?? You'll need 6 m6 x 30mm for mounting the brackets to the bumper and 6 m6 x 25mm panhead security allen (socket head) bolts for mounting the covers to the brackets. I'd suggest stainless steel ones too.

*edit* I may have some, I'll check tomorrow, send me a PM if you want em ;)

stinger_sweaty 25 September 2009 04:32 PM

yep got the mounting plate also, can i egt the 25mm panhead allen bolts from do it all or somwhere?

For bolts, the easiest is usually Yell.com the UK's local search engine - search for United Kingdom businesses, then enter "Bolt and nut stockist" and go and see them. They will probably have them in stock, in stainless, and will sell you the amount you need in the length you need without having to buy a pack of ten, or a hundred.

Failing that try: Socket Cap Screws A2 Stainless Steel M6 x 25mm Pack of 50 - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys

or: Socket Countersunk Screws A2 Stainless Steel M6 x 25mm Pack of 50 - Screwfix.com, Where the Trade Buys

Those last aren't countersunk, they are button head;)

brill thanx folks.

Other option would be tastynuts.com for some nice alloy ones

stinger_sweaty 26 September 2009 11:47 AM

just been to home base to find some, but the m6 x 25mm look kinda big are they ment to be that big?

tanyatriangles 26 September 2009 12:08 PM

M6 x 25 can only be one size: 6mm thread and 25mm thread length;)

Why would you go to Homebase when there are bolt and nut stockists that will sell you the number of STAINLESS ones you want, or Screwfix who sell STAINLESS in packs?:wonder::wonder::wonder:

stinger_sweaty 26 September 2009 12:26 PM

no i just went to homebase to see if they had any i didnt get them, ill try looking online.

tanyatriangles 26 September 2009 12:38 PM

Do you have a Screwfix near you?

stinger_sweaty 26 September 2009 02:23 PM

no dont think so im in chepstow

tanyatriangles 26 September 2009 04:12 PM

Nearest is Avonmouth, 10 miles..........is it across the bridge too?:(

Screwfix Direct

Failing getting any, you can order from them and have them delivered next day, but small orders carry postage:(:(

stinger_sweaty 26 September 2009 06:22 PM

damn it yea avon is across the bridge £5.40 a time can get expensive.

BLU 26 September 2009 06:29 PM

Fleabay then, if no stockists near you;

STAINLESS BUTTON HEAD SOCKET SCREW DOME HEAD M6 X 25 on eBay (end time 30-Sep-09 13:59:53 BST)
