Quick question about fitting strut brace?

[Paul.M]

Hi all,

Just want to know if people reccomend using bolts instead of the self tapping screws that come with these

I only have 3 of the screws and im having a nightmare finding the same size, so thought some 8 x 25mm bolts through would be a bit better?

Cheers as usual

Paul

Cheers Fred, whats the reasoning behind that out of interest?

 

[Fred@BTM]

self tappers will do f**k all

I think he was asking if he should use bolts instead of self tappers, not the other way around

Cheap, nasty, half arsed fitting. Whoever does these sort of things should not be allowed near a workshop. Fact.
