Can anyone tell me what thread and size the bolts that hold the body to the pan on a beetle are????? Saves me pulling one out of mine

I think they are 8 X 1.25 not sure how long maybe 20 - 25 mm ?

thanks

sorry i meant 14 X 1.75 give that a try

8 x 1.25 x 30 for the perimeter pbolts, the point was to pierce the rubber seal. There are 22 of them by memory. There's also 6 or 8 (depending on model) M10 x 1.5 x 25-3o at the fuel tank and rear torsion/shock mount and 4 x M10 x 1.5 around 70mm long at the fwd bulkhead (also by memory)

thanks Matt. Only need the perimeter botls.

If you are going to use 'normal' bolts, it my be difficult to push them through a new rubber seal. A hot 1/4" pointed steel rod [or old Philipsscrew-driver] pushed through the rubber, into the nut, will help.

No rubber seal needed in a drag car greg!!! Thats just extra weight!!!

30 odd bolts aren't light, either.....that's why I welded mine.

hoping to get away with alot less than that!!!!

10mm long should be plenty too, depending on washer choice

didnt think of that Matt,I was going to drill the centre out 4mm aswell
