I just polybushed both front TCA's on mk3 capper 2.0 laser. the sleves supplied were a VERY tight fit for the bolt to go through, i got one side done ok, other side i hammered away at the bolt and got it stuck in there and then snapped it, got the half of it back out, now all i need is a new nut and bolt, but its got to be the exact right bolt and i cant get one anywhere!!!!!

 

sum1 must have one laying around in there garage surely?

must have been going some with the hamme to snap the bolt mate

 

do you mean the pointy bolt that goes into the x-member? I'll have a look tonight for you

[TwoLitrePinto]

yeh bout an inch of fine thread on the end, gets slightly wider, goes thru crossmember thru a sleve inside inner bush of tca and a nut on the end. and yes i was going some with the hammer u should see the state of whats left of the bolt lol! also need the nut as a mullered it aswell.

 

i will just get a round file in the sleve or something.

Pm Jason Harris mate he had exact same problem earlier in the week, turns out the polybush manufacturers have had a bad batch with the hole too small

as mk1 mexico has just said the bolt is 3/8th and urs should slide through. i have a pair of bolts and nuts u can have if u pm me send us a couple of quid through the post ill send em down to u. mine where polysport bushes from rally design. i rang them about the problem and they sent out two new collars. its a pain there wrong but they sorted without fuss so i wasnt botherd
