Default Fitting ALK problem

fitting an ALK white line at the min to my 03 jdm sti. But the bolt where you place the "11" spacer makes the bolt to short and it doesn't catch the threads , I've no other bolts and don't want to have to take all the stuff back off , anyone else had this problem ??

New but from a fella so technically secondhand, he hadn't opened it and the parts listing was all present

my chassis is my05 image in the instructions, and the rear most number 11 bolt is to be re used but is to short when the washer is fitted ?

Does the bolt actually go in the same place or reused in another hole and the longer bolts replace the old bolt ?

For my04sti the 2 supplied longer bolts is to be used on the 2 rear most (one one side, 4 total) bolt holes.

these are smaller diameter bolts .

im Gona run into local town in hope I can source longer bolts same thread at 9am..

bit pissed whiteline didn't think the bolts were too short, they litreally thread in by 2 threads, and can't remove the washer as the arm will hit the alk otherwise

Never seen this on the Forum in the last 8 or so years so seems a bit weird you are struggling . . .

Well don't I feel like an idiot after all these years rooting at cars , swapping engines etc... I questioned myself numerous times did I mix up the bolt and said nah, I couldn't t have, that would be stupid...well last resort I removed all the bolts and yep, the longer bolt I used in the hole In front of it ...FAIL 😣😂
