Pinch Bolt - Front track control arm - Saloon Mk2

[list...@liberator-systems.co.uk]

What are the correct pinch bolts for the front track control arm ball joint?

 Mk2 saloon - Fiesta Mk2 XR2 base, Escort Mk4 control arms & anti  roll bar.

Thanks

John

The Ford part is Finis code 6152276
It's a 8mm x 40mm Torx head

But you can use a normal HT bolt in there with a hex or allen head , one
marked 10.9 or 12.9 would be best, they are stronger than the default 8.8
spec.
Black allen headed bolts tend to be 10.9 as a minimum.
Ideally find a bolt that has a long enough unthread section to pass through
one side of the hub and the slot in the balljoint, but obviously not to much
unthreaded so the nut bottoms out.

Thanks Jim.

For some reason I had in back of my mind that they were special ground tapered bolts ;-)

The 2 bolts that hold the shock to the hub carrier are the only 2 special bolts that i know of.

Just standard shouldered bolts through arm to body. Camber bolts if you like in the shock to hub mounts. 

You may find washers are needed in the cavity the arm sits to get it nice and tightly seated before tightening.

Any standard shoulder bolt the right size will do for balljoint also. As other have said a higher tensile can be a nice touch too.
