Sportspack arch stud thread
Turbo Mini Forums

does anyone know what thread the studs are that hold the sportspack arches onto the body? Minispares sell the nuts but no mention of the studs.

Thanks

M5 the same as the nuts or do you mean the thread into the arch?

they have a diiferent thread into the arch?? i guess that one then lol

do you sell the studs?

Tried loads of places to get them with no luck. Ended up filing down the heads of some small bolts and bonding them onto the arch.

No sorry i meant i was confused as you said we sold the nuts which are M5 but didn't know the thread of the studs...obviously they are the same otherwise the nuts wouln't go on lol. What year are the arches, the latest ones use ZUA000250's.

right, i might just take a punt on them to be honest, do they come with the nuts aswell or do you sell them seperatly? whats the postage gunna be? (it wont tell me as i dont have an account)

No you'll need the nuts seperately GFK3295 for locknuts or FN105047 for genuine ones.

Arrgh! Where was Gavin when I need these studs! I tried minispares and was told they weren't available.

Me too!

I ended up bonding some in!

In the 13's at last!.. Just

The early sportspack arch studs are no longer available, they had a self tapper as one half of the stud so if they ripped out (as most did if using locknuts) you had no option but to bond something in. The new ones have an insert bonded in and are much better.

luckily i happen to have my wheel arch in the house (don't ask). Using my lack of camera tallent, and crap camera zoom i have taken this:



what do you think gav?

Sorry was busy :) That's not one of the latest ones, looks like you'll have to bond the stud in unfortunately.
