spacers make a difference
standard length in metric is 27.5 mm + spacer thickness

m14 1.5 pitch from memory

this is all a bit jargon for me guess id be easier to take another out and measure it?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

the 14 x1.5 is the thread you just need to measure the length

They should be tapered if there aftermarket wheels.

ok buddy thanks, do you know if you can buy singles or do they come in sets?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

You can buy single bolts.

sweet ill get another out and measure length tomorrow, thx for your help mate

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

These might do but you need to check there long enough

so i just measure the length of the thread section not the while bolt?

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

The 40mm is the length of the thread not the whole bolt.

found soem bolts in a bag in the boot - one fitted perfectly! thanks for the help anyway chaps

 

[adam cupra 20vt]

Does it have 6+ full turns and is it tapered? both sorts will fit but you need the correct angle on the bolt head of it will come loose.

hmm it looked exactly the same as the ones already in there, and the code on the top of them was the same. b13 10.9 or something like that?

 

[Ronin225]

The 10.9 will probably be its tensile strength
