Clips and pins

Paulmay79 · #1 24-08-2009

I want to get rid of these as they are to be blunt shite. So im going to get it done using m3 dome head bolts and nyloc nuts in hoping this will improve the car. Any feed back is welcome.

yeah, the e-clips are one of the annoying obvious cost savings on the car. Yet it has genius bits like the hex head ball studs that most serious race cars don't!

bolts with a nyloc would do the job. Obviously only have the end threaded for the nut. I haven't seen what the X-pro uses. If it has captured pins then it may be easier to get a set of the wishbones and pins for that, and keep the kit originals as an emergency spare.

Im having real trouble getting hold of m3 bolts that im happy with so im going to put a thread on some stainless steel bar and make my own. Im just hoping ill have the clearance having to use a nyloc nut on either end.

Ive knocked the pin replacement on the head for now. Ive just replaced the stock e clips with some schumacher ones. They needed to be tighteneed slightly but fit well.
