Wolfmother Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 So I've fitted Meister R's to my mb3. My issue is the lca bolts, they seem a bit short. I understand that my mb3 (1998 D15Z8) uses EG length lca's but use an EK size strut bush. (Please correct if wrong) I followed the diagram provided by Meister using the washers and spacers for the EK set up. Using both the spacers and washers left me with about 5mm of bolt to thread a securing nut onto. I've had to remove the washers and just use the spacers which sit inside the fork and I've managed to thread a locking nut onto the bolt by about 10mm, but it doesn't exactly look reassuring. Ideally, I need a bolt that's another 20mm longer, any help is much appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JK1245 Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 Are they MB specific Meisters as I believe they supply a longer bolt with the MB specific ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noodels Posted July 31, 2016 Share Posted July 31, 2016 (edited) Look on Lings website and get new longer ones for maybe MB6,it will show length sizes with a reg number. or get correct length and correct shank length also to suit. Or a thinner Nyloc nut would do it also. Or sell them to me Edited July 31, 2016 by noodels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are yes, but I bought them 2nd hand and there weren't any bolts in the box, I'll check cyberspeeds website and see if they sell the extended bolts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I just use high tensile bolts from local hardware place. Ran them for years no problems. Less than a quid each. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 get some high tensile ones from a local bolts place mate. i know Boltbolts sell longer ones but they are expensive, or try ebay for some longer ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
