Brumby/MY lift kit bolts

Post by Silverbullet » Sun Aug 31, 2014 2:28 pm

A while ago I thought I remembered someone asking what bolts are required when lifting a Brumby/MY wagon. Stuffed if I can find the thread now but I've just gone through the lift blocks that I have for my wagon, measuring up the bolt lengths, diameters and pitch.

So these all seem to be metric fine threads, or 1.25mm pitch. All should be ordered high tensile. The bolts required for the front strut tops and rear shock mounts are not included below, since the strut tops don't use longer bolts and rear shocks depend on what kind of lifting bracket you use, usually not requiring longer bolts.

The following list is for a 2 inch lift kit

Engine crossmember bolts:
M10x1.25 - 4 x 150mm long

Radius rod mounting plates:
M12x1.25 - 6 x 75mm long

Rear torsion bar tube:
M12x1.25 - 4 x 100mm long

Rear moustache bar mounting brackets:
M10x1.25 - 4 x 75mm long

I think that's all there is, 18 bolts total. If I've forgotten anything I'll add to the list when I come to installing my lift kit, coming soon.

Where did you source your lift kit from, and did it not come with the bolts

My kit is made up from bits and pieces I've found at wreckers and made myself. And the bolts that were holding them on the wrecked cars were not even fit to hold a gate up :neutral: So I ordered all new ones from a specialty fasteners place. Luckily for me I know someone who can order through their work etc etc so got them at a very good price.

Hi

may want to specify/confirm that this was for a 2" kit block all round -( at least that's what I remember your intention was when measuring off from mine)

- edit your first post and I'll delete this one

cheers

Nice work and this should make a nice quick reference for future lift kits :cool:
