djinuk 2 Posted October 15, 2008 On both of my 205s the bonnet hinge bolts, where they connect onto the car have sheered. Anybody else had this problem, whats the ideal way of sorting it, is it to simply drill retap and replace.., if so whats the bolt size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted October 15, 2008 Pretty common, think i've drilled/tapped & replaced before. Pisses my dad off more than me usually so he sorts it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boldy205 74 Posted October 19, 2008 Drilled and tapped mine too, they are only a std metric thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platty 1 Posted October 20, 2008 I just repaired mine this weekend. M8 is the thread size iirc. Take your time getting the pilot hole centre'd and you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
