Ignition Bolts

Hey someone on the forum replaced the security bolts with Allen or hex head bolts and there was a thread on it but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone point me in the right direction???

Thanks, Jordan.

Re: Ignition Bolts

.

The metric bolts are 8-1.25 metric bolts with about .75" grip length.

That particular post can be found HERE.

Re: Ignition Bolts

Mine have fallen out of both cars all by themselves and i just stuck std 12mm headed bolts in both times, you just need to undo the screws on the column suround and you right its much nicer to start when the ign is tight

Re: Ignition Bolts

Hey Cam, how are you going?

Here's a link to all my pics and some of my heater core process but before I post it, I just want you and everyone to know that this isn't a direct guide.. I will make a direct guide, there are screws, nuts and bolts which you shouldn't touch.

Re: Ignition Bolts

I just carved a slot in mine and used a screwdriver to put them back in.

Re: Ignition Bolts

When my ignition went my bolts were falling out so I just twisted them out with my fingers. I then went to the hardware store and got some allenhead bolts the right size to put back in if I ever need to take it out again.

Re: Ignition Bolts

a little liquid locktight might be a good idea. I did that on mine.
