keith1200 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 (edited) Same size as the nipples on your calipers, if memory serves me right. [edit] hmm no they might be smaller! 'can't remember'. Edited June 16, 2010 by keith1200 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guysat Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Cant remember if its just a plain washer and nut or it was mounted on rubber type washers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 WOW! weird or wot! the site crashed, just as I was about to reply (maybe thats a good thing) Stop being lazy and stick your head under your car . It's something silly like 8mm. Right pain in the butt to put back on tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something silly like 8mm. Right pain in the butt to put back on tho Its no use sticking my head under the car, its not on there. They are 8mm bolts, but I had a feeling it was rubber mounted. Anyway have now bolted straight onto chassis with washer and nut Guy Edited June 17, 2010 by guysat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keith1200 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) I can only speak for my GT/E, it's nuts and bolts (like you say) no rubber etc, to be honest! i didn't think you were clear in your original post (or the Peroni was effecting my reading skills ). Should be easy if your motor is an 1.8. I can understand why a previous owner didn't bother to refit the heat shield (stupid but understandable).
