We sell those bolts for under $10 Canadian a piece, around $6 US. I guess they aren't cheap, but in relative terms of upkeep/maintenance/modification a small cost to make sure your wheels stay on....

Part number 701 601 139 B iirc. This will give you 4-5 more revolutions for fastening. >> Jouko, The problem is not usually availability but price. At $10-$14 each bolt from the VW dealer, that can be a lot of money even if you only need it for the front wheels of your 2WD. BenT |
