Upper Engine Mount Bolts

[boothy83]

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this, been scouring the threads and put in some long hours on google.....

Two of the bolts for the top engine mount (ECU side) have snapped and need to be replaced. I have taken the bolts out so I'm all ready to go with now ones.

Where can I buy the bolts/studs and the nuts with washers? Would I be best just going to a scrapy?

Any help or ideas welcome, want to make sure I get the right bolts!

I bought hi tensile bolts after the o/e ones snapped.

theyre just m8 x 16 bolts

id get 10.9 or higher tensile but nothing specific or expensive needed

o.e are HT.

the std bolts are only 8.8 ,and that is classed as ht
the main reason they break is that when they are refitted people do not use thread lock with them which means the first part of the engine mounting hole is larger than the thread ,so it allows movement which wil cause it to snap eventualy
so either fit a cap screw --all are at least 10.9 or higher or a new std bolt and use thread lock to make up the small space that is not supported
so there is no movement or twisting action on the bolt in the small length where the bolt is not supported just inside the engine mounting.
it sialways possible that people are overtightening the std bolt .but doing any of the above will get rid of the problem for good
