high tensile (10.9) bolts

[bigbadbugga]

Does anyone know a good supplier for these bolts?

I need 2 100mm long M12 long shank for suspension arms on my beetle.

and 8 100mm long M10 long shank also.

have tried 'namrick' but they only do 8.8 grade.

so I thought I would ask you guys to save me forever searching the net

I know of someone who has got some 12.summat grade stud conversion bolts. Would you like me to see if he can get some standard 10.9 bolts for you?

Our local bolt supplier (walk in shop on industrial estate) has all kinds of stuff in 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 but the higher grade stuff is usually cap head. If these bolts have a long shank and short thread they are probably specials. To be honest I would have no problem using 8.8 in any automotive application, they are well up to anything on a car.

I not sure they can help but give them a try, they will know someone in the area for sure.

Id think youd need socket cap heads, rather than hex head bolts to get 10.9
If youve tried a few places already, try Unbrako, not sure if they sell direct, but should be able to point you in the direction of a stockist.
Unbrako wont be cheap ones though. The rolls royce of bolts.

Can't see a car manufacturer using a 10.9 unless it's necessary myself. Several different manufacturers have used ball joints that are retained by a bolt acting as both a cotterpin and pinch bolt for example, always a 10.9 and usually a strange shank length too on the ones i've seen/sworn at

Have you tried VW?

I would ask www.threadfast.co.uk, they're local to me, bit further from you, but i'm sure they'd post.

Thanx for all the info guys, I'll check some of them out tomorrow.

If you can use cap head allen bolts they are usually 10.9 or even 12.9. W/A
