HI, recently got a set of higher wing supports, but managed to bend one of the eyebolts when taking it out of the old wing support. Not great at measuring bolts or knowing the dimensions, but i think it is an m8 bolt? Anyone know where i can get one, found these online and they do seem similar, but the wrong colour...

I used M8 rod ends but it's a bit of a pain as you have to sleeve down the bore from 8mm to 6mm (I used some ally tubing) and then the body is too big so you have grind or file a bit off the top to clear the wing. For an easy life; http://www.thelotuscentreonline.co.uk/ecomms/item6...

Mine

Thanks rob, think i will stick with the easy way! Cheers for the link.

Forgot to say thanks for my endplates too tuxman, got the wing off now so going to wrap in it 3m carbon and laquer it to match, the revierie full carbon ones are a bit too much for what they are imo. I,ve just been a bit busy helping my folks for their next adventure. You met my dad on the ferry to le mans? Just put a sump guard on and a fuel tank guard ontheir transit minibus for their second trip out to mongolia! Was a fiat punto last time!
