As per title really.

What size bolts do I need to bolt the front end of the centre pipe to the end of the cat/manifold.

Suspect the old ones will be destroyed during removal having been on there for 12 years...

Cheers,

Thomas

Hi Thomas, really have other things to do that browsing back to older posts, what engine are you talking about !!

Life could be easy ….

Sorry bud 2006 1.2 8v.

Did have a bit of a search but couldn't see anything.

Hi Thomas

from what I remenber Ø would be M8 and 25 or 30mm for the length. Genuine bolts (nut & screw) probably have shoulder but flat washers will do the same job ...

Thanks Bernie,

Much appreciated as always.

Out of curiosity are you mechanic or Fiat tech?

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

you're welcome !

I opened my first motorbike engine at 10 when Lego's became boring, did a few tech schools and ended by installing linear accelerators for cancer treatment (thus my nicky).

I personnaly owned and serviced 850 Berlinetta & Coupé, 1100 Netunia, 128 Berline, 128 1.3 "Rally", Seat 1430 Coupé "Bocca Nera", Ritmo Abarth 125, Ritmo Abarth 130, Tipo 2.0 SeidicciValvole, Bravo 1.9 jtd 16V and now the Grande Punto 1.3 mjt so I can say I know a bit about Italian cars ;-) The only one that blown his engine wa the Tipo 16V whose timing belt broke, the other are either still running or have been crashed.

Beside those I serviced also Madam's Mazda 323, Opel Corsa 1.2d, VW Golf 1.5 and Daughter's 500c (crashed), Scirocco 1.4 (set to fire by vandals) and Alfa Romeo Giullietta 1.4 (sold when she migrated to Canada).

Also got nice service cars that were garage serviced: BMW 320td, Alfa Romeo 159 jtdM and the current Passat CC 2.0

There have also been a few motorcycle but that's another story …

Quite a line up there. My first car was a metro that my dad welded up for me. Then I had MK1 Punto and now my 06 1.2 petrol grande. I've had it for 11 1/2 years now. I did a little bit of work on the mk1, but I've basically developed my skills over the last 11 years on the grande. No plans to get rid any time soon.
