Ive (stupidly) crossthreaded two of the bolts which mount the camber plate of front coilovers to the chassis. Anyone know where I can get new ones? About to email fulcrum but the usual automotive shops have come up with nada.

They aren't anything special, getting hold of some high tensile allen head screws or even just stainless ones (which appears to be what most brands use) should be sufficient. However the plate under the camber plate is threaded and if you damaged that plate you might need more than just a new set of screws.

no no, not the ones you loosen to allow you to change camber. the ones which actually mount the strut to the car. See the photo (not the coilover in question) for reference

knock one out and take it to a decent auto shop. if they can't help you,you can always drill and helicoil the hole to suit an M8x1.25 high tensile bolt and screw that in from underneath.

I did this a while back with a set of TRD tops,no issues.

Proconcept was no help, also tried about a dozen auto shops. Gonna ask Autosport when I check on how the silvias s15 conversion is going.....

atm ive got a couple of standard strut bolts from an s14 in there. I filed down the end a bit so they are tapered and they fit pretty well. So they will do for now.

Didnt think it'd be so hard to find TBH.

thanks all.

Found some

www.wholesalesuspension.com.au

They are a local distributer and can source stuff through fulcrum.
