Hi all,
I know the seize from the difficult two bolts that go into the cross member (M12 x 75mm x 1.25)

But I can't find the size of the other 6 bolts?
Can anyone tell me please?
I have a towbar without the bolts. grrr

Standard M10 X1.5 bolts. 3 on each side. The drivers side can use the 3 that have too be removed from the tow ring inboard side. The tow ring can remain in place. Just remove the 3 inner bolts. Fit tow bar in the space between the chassis rails and insert all bolts loosely. Tighten the M12 X 1.25 bolts first, followed by the 6 M10 bolts.
The M12 X 1.25 are difficult to obtain at reasonable prices.
M10 X 1.5 can be found almost anywhere

The M10 can be any length between 30 and 50 mm. 30mm is what I used in mine iirc.
The 12mm are supposed to be 75mm iirc but I could only find 80mm so used a couple of thick washers.

The only place that I found them at under dealer prices was on Ebay.
I get mine from these guys.
