10mm Spacers

[truCido]

I've just got a set of 10mm spacers for my cupra and was wondering if I can just put them straight on or if I will need longer bolts? If so where can I get them from?

p.s. I did look for a thread but couldnt find 10mm spacers

for 10mm you will need longer bolts, when i fitted my hubcentric ones the bolts barely even engaged though I had already sourced 10 new 10mm longer bolts, dont forget that you will have no locking wheel nuts on this time unless you buy a set of longer ones too.

badger5 sells longer ones, did you buy cheap spacers?

 

[truCido]

balls will ring Bill in a bit...they came free with my laguna intercooler I just bought lol

 

[Steve GTI]

Fair enough! I wouldn't risk it! there will be hardly any thread holding them in!

 

[truCido]

na I wont put them on without longer nuts, especially as I'm going round castle coombe on saturday lol, I've had enough problems with steering this year where can I get longer locking wheel nuts from anyway?

 

[cordobabrendy]

any alloy shop should be able to source them. mine were around a quid each.

Your dodgy knocking/clonking sound fixed now then?

 

[truCido]

nope lol tomorrow it will be

 

[matsportline]

All sorted? Mines still making those noises like a goodin!!!

 

[truCido]

no they sent the wrong parts will be done by 12 tomorrow!

 

[matsportline]

Rubbish!!! god you think an easy task as orderin a few bits wouldn't be beyond these people!!!

 

[Quikie]

what was the knockin?

 

[truCido]

the wrong parts were due to the parts supplier having 2 options and they didnt tell storm there were 2 different ones and they chose the wrong one....anyway all fixed now THANK YOU STORM DEVELOPMENTS!!!

I had excessive wear in balls joints, steering rod, wishbones were on their way out, and top mounts. All replaced and had my strut brace fitted and its sooooo much nicer to drive and no knocking!!!
