Yes I'd be up for this, probably quicker than RPD

8200646065 that's the part number I believe, I asked the same question only the other day

M10 x 130 aren't they?

The OE ones and a decent protection on them dont they

What grade of high tensile do they need to be? Ebay surely would have them

Ouch! I thought they were more like £6 each, I might clean them up as they arent too bad just the nuts that have suffered.

I'm not getting a reply from RPD, does anyone know where else I can get the 6 rear beam bolts and nuts or whether using standard 130mm high tensile bolts is ok? I'd like to keep it standard really.

Searching mine comes up with some idiot saying they've bought it and it has lots of issues and peculiar things going on under the bonnet...oh wait that was me! Otherwise nobody seems to know my car, even had a Cliosport.net sticker in the back window when I got it giving me the false sense...

This looks like it's going to be fun! Hats off to you, dont know how you know where to start.

I did similar, fit the exhaust then start nibbling away at the bumper. I made a template of the cutout from a piece of card from the exhaust trim to know that I was aiming for

Theres me worrying about aligning it all back up, I should be more concerned about the rust around the brackets.

Was there much front to back movement?

@Big_Steve_T did you have any problems aligning the rear beam brackets? I've heard there is a fair amount of play in the bolt holes or did you take reference measurements prior to removal?

Thanks, I can get the Febi with new bolts for £27 so a no brainer really. Just wanted to check there were no massive gains for a road car

I'm torn between Febi standard rear beam bushes and whiteline, is there much to gain with upgrading them?

Thanks mate

I think I've got lucky, I've been soaking mine for a few weeks in plusgas and cleaned the threads up. Lastnight I cracked all six off without anyone holding the bolt head, pretty chuffed.

Thanks!

Could you link me to the item, just what I need!

Same here, my drivers side was worse than the passenger side which was nearly spotless.

Looks like it'll clean up nicely, lol at the Ramair bracket!

Before I strip the rear beam I want to get all the parts I'll need to replace ready, one part I cant seem to find is the metal clips that the flexi brake hoses attach into where they meet the beam bracket. What are they called and can they still be got from Renault?

Cracked off the 6 rear beam bolts one at a time ready to begin stripping it all down to treat some rust. I've been soaking them in Plusgas for weeks now which must have paid off because they all freed off fairly easily with a 2' breaker bar, didnt even have anyone holding the heads from the...

It's a 52 plate so a 172 with 182 exhaust conversion

Wow an old black and decker electric screwdriver or is it a bosch? Also what's the fork for?

That's where the worst of my rust was, it had tracked under the underseal to the point it had caused a tiny hole up high in the arch

Went start it, battery drain again! Thought I'd solved this

That is a cracking result mate, I must pull my finger out ant get on with mine while I cant drive it. Only think holding me back is getting the beam powder coated but I might resort to Hammerite

Are they bolts then? I thought they were nuts on studs

My fuel tank bolts are in a right mess but I will be taking the whole beam and mounts off to get to some corrosion which I think might be going under them so the tank can stay
