Regardless, I am > referring to the bolt for each torsion bar (the one that is right above > the lower torsion arm and is for the opposite side's torsion bar). Each lower torsion bar has a set screw and lock nut, as well as a hex head bolt on the fixed end. That make 4 fasteners for the 2 lower bars. The upper bar has a set screw on the left and a set screw and a bolt on the right. Total of 3 for the upper bar. That comes to 7 threaded fasteners. All of these are "bolts," but only 3 of them are "cap screws" which basically means a bolt with a head larger than the threaded section. > Yeah, 15mm hex head and 18mm long.

Oh, you meant the washer. I call these wavy washers, but there may be a more accurate name for them. They are a metric thing. -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
