G'day all,

I am ready to bolt in the gearbox crossmember, however as my car was a rolling shell, I don't have the original bolts - can anyone tell me what they are so I can pick them up from the engineers?

I am also after the torque settings for the front end - whats the best source for that info?

Thanks in advance!

I just got some for my LJ - not sure what model you have. 3/8 x 1" UNC is what I got.

Usually go off the workshop manual for torque numbers on the bolts.

Ahh yes, probably should have mentioned it's an LX... Thanks - I'll find out if they're the same. You'd think they are.

Cheers for the reply.

Just an update to this, I discovered the bonnet hinge bolts in an LX (you know, the ones that generally help hide the rust) are exactly the same as the gearbox crossmember mount bolts, without the rubber of course. Handy to know.
