badj 0 Posted March 10, 2010 As above, for alloys. Got some different shanked peugeot radius head bolts, have put them on but a quick test drive shows that the rear wheels are making a very uncomfortable noise - some of the bolts where off a 205 so I'm thinking that the shank is too big for them to fit? Anyone ever asked them or had a price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted March 10, 2010 205 1.9 wheel bolts are the same as used on most 306's, and are about a fiver EACH! you dont say what wheels and type of seat you need? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badj 0 Posted March 10, 2010 sorry, fitting smr 1.6gti pepperpots to a base model. can't see any contact or scrubbing on the back, so I'm just assuming its the bolts. Do all 306's have flat seats?? I've not notice before? :s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ORB 227 1 Cars Posted March 10, 2010 Just the 306's with Alloys, the steel wheeled cars have tapered necks on them. I would go to a scrapper and find one with Alloys (D-Turbo) would be a good choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badj 0 Posted March 10, 2010 nice one fella's. I'll try and have a look tomorrow, I've had a few 306's in the past but never noticed the flat heads - will be spot on it the 306 ones fit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted March 10, 2010 you ideally want 1.6 gti wheelbolts as the heads are much longer, have a look in the for sale section or put a wanted post up, younevr know what the hoarders/breakers have squirrelled away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simes 248 2 Cars Posted March 10, 2010 I've got a few 1.9 and maybe 1.6 bolts kicking around. pm me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jord294 87 Posted March 10, 2010 i've got loads of bolts here lucky for you i'm local too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badj 0 Posted March 10, 2010 You got a few going spare? I've got 4 from a 1.6 which are fine, and about 7 from an XS which should be ok too. Its just the others from the 405 which are crap I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
welshpug 1,626 Posted March 10, 2010 the XS ones wont be right for a 1.6 alloy wheel, neither will the 405 ones unless they came from alloy wheels either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badj 0 Posted March 10, 2010 Both the XS and the 405 had alloys, but the 405 ones had a larger and longer shank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted March 11, 2010 Sounds like you were using tapered (base model) wheel bolts on the gti alloys, this will most likely cause all sorts of wobbling! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badj 0 Posted March 11, 2010 no, was just down to the 405 bolts I've found, as they have a large shank on them. I had too many on one of the back wheel (unshanked to shanked ratio that is). Luckily enough I popped to the breakers in the morning and, I re-iterate luckily, some tart had fitted a 98 reg 406 saloon with 1.6 gti bolts - they were duly claimed and the noise seems to have gone. Thanks for help though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
