OEM Strut Brace Nut/Bolt Size

Post by prelude_h22 » Sun Nov 03, 2013 6:30 pm

Hi Guys

Removed my strut brace to gain access to the vtec solenoid but I lost one of the bolts when it came to re-assembly. Really unlike me, was really peeved.

Was wondering if any one knows the size of the nut and its pitch so I can get a replacement

can it just be a standard stainless flanged nut or does it have to be a stronger metal?

Cheers all

What about the other bolts on it? Must be more than one.

I think it's M10x1.25 (fine).

Indeed they are, there is a list of certain bolts and nuts in the Guides / How to section:

You just need a flanged M10 x 1.25mm, trust me I measured all of those in that list and have just ordered a complete replacement set for these. :wink:

Replace the whole set for just over the price of one from Honda:

Or if you want to be fancy:

It's the larger M12 x 1.25 super fine pitched and self-locking wishbone nuts that are hard to get aftermarket (sit next to the shock/strut nuts). :wink:

I'll second that, particularly if you want high tensile stainless too.

Thanks guys.

As a conclusion to this thread: The Nuts I needed were M8 with a 1.25mm pitch

This is because I have Miester R Zeta S coilovers.

Bought from here
