I had just made it home with 1 bolt which came off as I entered my garage...
So I want to know did my bolts come off due to the vibration or the vibration was caused due the bolts being loose because they're cheap bolts ? the bolt just looks like any other bolt nothing special about it.. So im thinking of going to a hardware store and getting something a little better in quality. |
Hey Everyone,
This topic has actually already been discussed in a different thread. Here it is here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...&#entry17523725 The property class identification is 12.9, you can see this on the top of the bolt. The Proof Load Stress is 970MPA, the Tensile Yield Strength min. 1100MPA and the Tensile Ultimate Strength is min. 1220MPA. The flange nut is made out of SUS stainless steel 12-70 so if you run a search online to check and you will know that we did not cheap out any material. The only reason that I could think of were the bolts weren't bolted down properly or evenly so under vibration it will go loose. Jason @ AJR |
i have the race versions for over a year now. no problems atm.

[QUOTE=JDMQuip,Jan 12 2010, 06:07 PM] I picked up the Megan Racing Drive shaft spacers earlier this week and I hope I don't have this problem.

If you have a good look at the oem bolt its got a non threaded section which goes throu the holes and then a threaded section for the nut. My bolts came lose and ive replaced them with 10mm bolts and some loctite ive been to a track day and its been fine. J's racing spacers are the way to go, as they have a 10mm non threaded bolt and threaded section for the nut like oem. |
damn, should I even install mine?
I have Race (Purple) Versions...ordered from Evasive. |
find out the bolt width, then if its 9mm get 10mm, but make sure the nuts bolts are of good quality
|
i thought these weren't necessary?
|
Waah and the problems continue.....
