  • Bolt sizes + spec

    Is there anywhere that list the bolts used on a Maestro ?
    As I'm looking to replace the bolts for the suspension to body shell,
    I was hoping to order them before I get home so their ready when I get back

    I would also be interested in these I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the bolts on my car think I may have to send them for zinc plating

      The two main bolts attaching the subframe to the body are 60mm long M12 Fine, available new from Rimmers. The two bolts securing the towers to the subframe are 25mm M12's and available from Land-Rover specialists. Unfortunately I haven't got any details about the bolts securing the tower tops to the body, but I'm pretty sure they are also short M12's with appropriate washers and nuts.

          Why not go to an engineers' suppliers of fasteners and get like for like replacements? That might work out cheaper. Remember that a machine screw has threads all the way up to the head and is not for high tensile applications. Bolts have an un-threaded shank underneath the head and are for applications where higher torque loadings are needed. Bolt heads usually carry a code on their tops to describe their proof load, yield strength and tensile strength and that code is usually 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9. Just a thought????
