I might give vintage a call friday after work,i tried a bolt supplies here but at $22 each bolt and $4 each nut i think it would be cheaper to buy a
net set of adjusters,i thought someone might have a set of bolts they dont need

small,they are for the the other style of adjusters where you weld the whole unit in???

I bought new high tensile bolts and cut the heads off. Dont think they were more than about $4-5 each. Dont use the original bolts anyway they are not
high tensile and bend when hit with a rubber mallet.

The AVIS adjuster used the original SIZED VW thread that is M14 x 1.5.
CustomBugs&Buses had bolts you can cut down last time I fitted a set.
Or, you can try this company for an online order:
Just order the length you need and how many.

Didn't like the look of the ones that were supplied, so I used grade 8, M14x1.5 [metric fine] x 50 hex. set screws - with thread all the way. Leave
the head on, as a ring spanner on the 'hex' makes it easier to adjust.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Its the same as a RH thread tie rod end from a link pin beetle
Cut the rod end off, taper the end to suit the spring pack, double nut the end with 2 lock nuts from your original grub screws .... wallah!
