Look what they sell here for the hubs...

Not gonna fit unless some sort of spacer is used under the bolt head.

If you look at the diagram:



Bolt number 5 is one of those we're talking about?

The bolt head sits in a recessed area in the mounting plinth.

Only an allen-head (or Torx) bolt will fit there.

If a normal hex-head bolt is used it will not sit flush/even as the mounting plinth does not have a flat surface.

Bye, Arno.

Yep, thanks Arno, but I confirm they sell and use these ones without problems on all cars mounted. Eventhough, I will use the Hexagonal one...

Here a crude sketch how the bolt is recessed in the front hub assembly.
A normal flathead bolt will not fit in there without some spacer bush...

It seems they use the flathead for rear only.

As it looks the rear hub bolts are not recessed, so the flathead bolts should fit there.

It seems I need also the hexagonal screws for the rear...

and front

I have got them now. Will fix with 65Nm

Ouch, so it was close...

Here is my new sport catalysor in place. The engines works better with this, no doubt.


I also have a new exhaust simple exit. The main idea was to light weight the car at the rear, estimated by 0,6kg. Here the "old" two tube section :

And the new simple one:



Weight saved : 1,86 kg

99.7 dB, but mainly coming from everything but the exhaust exit

I also changed the rear hub screws, that were still in perfect condition... So I decided not to touch the front.

Here is the work of my day : -0.5kg




As I could not determine which resin was used to build the carbon leave, I had to build my owns with Epoxy resin, to avoid any fire problem, specialy for the rear one (coming soon...)
