Hi all,
I'm trying to work out the bolt size I'd need for the rear discs on my turbo.
There are two threaded holes in the disc which are meant for bolts to be screwed in and push against the hub when the disc is stuck on.
My Hanes manual and clarks garage reference them but don't say the size. They are a bit larger than the retaining screws. Any ideas where I can find this out? All the bolts I had lying around didn't work today
Cheers

Just got around to doing my rear discs.
They are M7 bolts on mine 1987 turbo.
