Hey all,

I have the Ingalls rear LCA's/ Lateral Links ready to install, but I'm not sure how I feel about the bolts being 12mm and the bore of the hole in the links being 1/2", or 12.7mm. Does anyone know, or have any ideas where I can find a bushing to insert to take up that gap?

Or do I have my ******* in a bunch for no reason? :frown:

I bought SHONut's GTP reducing sleeves and had a machine shop ream out the Ingall's to fit them.

Huh, the website say they are on the Performance page, but I'm not finding them. Maybe he doesn't have them anymore.

Well it's not a necessity or anything, but I just wanted to reduce the clearance between the bolt and the sleeve as much as possible. It's only .7mm, but it's still there.

They're just a little sloppy on the bolts. Probably doesn't make a difference, but the fit could be a little tighter.

The size is to acommidate the various conditons of the hardware. I have had mine installed as is with no problems and that includes track time.

I bought all new hardware from my local Metric & Multistandard (since next to no one stocks metric hardware on the shelves) http://www.metricmcc.com for these.

I live in the salt belt, I'm pretty sure the only way the stock fasteners are coming off is with a cutoff wheel and a fire wrench.

Hamal,

Since you've just done this, would you kindly list the bolt sizes you bought.

I'm planning on redoing a lot of the suspension on green and figured I might buy the rear arms too.

Thanks,
Chris
