Hi all

Putting my oval window beetle back together and replacing the snapped and rounded off bolts. Can anyone please tell me the length of the 2x 10 mm bolts at the front body to beam, 2x 10mm body to shocker tower under wheel arch, and 4x10 mm bolts under rear seat body to cross member? I cant find anywhere in my manuals, trying to keep it as original as possible.
Cheers

Can't give you the exact lengths but if the front beam bolts use 2x10mm thick rubbers, the rear rubbers are 1x10mm and the theaded holes will be at least 10mm deep then this will give you an idea of the lengths required. Naps hat are gonna be around 60mm shanked Ht bolts if you wondering about them too.
