PPF / gearbox brace bolt specs

[Jake_rorx7]

Does anyone have any more info on the bolt specs on the PPF and chassis gearbox side? I am going to be installing a brace and I would like to buy slightly longer bolts to make up for the thickness of the brace metal and washer that they have to pass through. May as well get new shiny bolts for the chassis part as well so everything looks smart.

So far I have found:

PPF/gearbox:
M14x1.5
Unknown legnth
130ft/lb torque

Chassis side:
Unknown pitch and legnth and torque

Thanks

Don't forget tensile strength

People have been running these braces for decades without using longer bolts, a bigger worry is strengthening the actual chassis mounting points as they weren't designed for bracing the drivetrain. Although again, nobody has had major issues with that AFAIK.

Fair enough. I'd still like to buy shiny replacement bolts since I'm going to be painting the brace to match the car

(the ants under my car will be very impressed)
