Wheel Bolts

[bitchass 205 0]

Hi all,

 

I don't get on here much, if at all these days, seeing as i don't own a pug anymore.

 

However, i had to post here because the guys on clio sport are a bunch of numptys who don't seem to know an awful lot about the finer technicalities of their cars!!

 

I'm looking at replacing my wheel bolts because they have gone rusty, apparently too much acidic cleaner by previous owner.

 

I own a Clio R27 and am wondering if anyone could tell me what seating type they are and what shaft length they are. I think they are 60 degree tapered but i haven't had the chance to take one out yet.

 

Many Thanks.

Can't you just buy some new ones from the main stealers or are they ridiculously overpriced?

With Pugs, the cars go to dealership with 16 wheel bolts and have 4 replaced there with locking nuts.

 

Most dealers have buckets of them somewhere out the back, I've bought a few sets for next to nothing from them.

 

Worth a go at a Renault dealer?

i haven't tried the stealers yet, going to call them in the morning. i took one out and the shaft is 35mm long in total with a tapered seating.

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

@ Pete, i sold the pug by accident really. i was trying to prove a point to the g/f that no one would want an old 205gti so there would be no point in trying to sell it. So i stuck it on pistonheads for the extorionate, or so i thought, price of 850. No sooner had i turned the interweb off and i had some guy on the phone saying will i be in that evening because i'm on the train down from norfolk!!

 

i said are you sure, what price do you have in mind he said what you said in the ad. cool i thought, as i had only bought it for 400!!! Although i had probably spent double that sorting the rear beam, and brakes all round.

 

was totally gutted when he drove it off, i came in and the g/f said was i okay i just went upstairs and didn't say anything, needless to say she didn't bother me all night!!
