So does anyone know exactly what bolts are required for these? Citroen seem to be a bit shit at understanding that i want wheel bolts, or even that the wheels in question exist, so i'm hoping someone on here can tell me something useful. Part numbers would be amazing, even just the correct seat angle would be good, what do you know?
easy, look on servicebox for phase1 c5, look under "steel wheels"
look at bolts listed with conical seat spanner diameter 17.
5405 72
RP 16 087 344 80
12X125
CONICAL SURFACE / SPANNER DIAM 17
cross references to FEBI 30400, looks like a loose taper but not a hollow head like o.e.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-x-M12-x-1-25...1672682587 those came up for the o.e part number.
I found some on ebay by just random word searching the sort of bolt it was!
Brilliant, thanks welshpug!
Edit: so the people insisting they use a different taper are in fact just full of shit... Well that's wasted months then, spiffing. Useless wasters.
Its not a different taper, its just a spinning taper so the bolt doesn't wear the alloy away.
Yeah thanks, can see that lol. Was just generally bemoaning other peoples' insistence on talking a whole load of shite when they actually know jack, nothing new or interesting.
Whats the difference as loads of alloys use a standard taper type bolt, is the alloy softer on these or??
I guess it must be, they're known for cracking.
