1.3 Motor Mount Bolts?

[wrongfulleaf]

Recently my car has been acting up a little bit and has been jerking the car around like crazy when I am in 1-3 gear. I started checking it out with a friend and we noticed that the front motor mount has lost it's bolt :shock:! So I thought about heading to the junk yard and pulling one but I figured that I would post it on here so that way I can just run down to Ace and get a new bolt altogether. I looked in my manual but it doesn't say the length or size but it does give 64-89 N.m for the torque (I know that doesn't really help you but I did look). I believe that it should have a washer on it too but not 100%. If anybody could help me out with a width and length that would be amazing and will keep my car from doing wheelies ! Thanks in advance!!!

You don't want to replace an automotive bolt with an every day hardware bolt, there is a specific grade bolt that was used for the mount, and it will save you time and money to get the right one for the job. i dont know the specifics on that bolt however.

I say why guess go to the junkyard it will be just as good as long as its not stripped out or rounded off.

Using a GRADE 8 bolt will work just fine!
There are bolts, and then there are BOLTS!
Standard bolts go like this:

Hardware store = stripped (weak, no raised ribs)
Grade 5 = tougher (3 raised ribs on head)
Grade 8 = toughest (5 raised ribs on head)
(grade 5 & 8 are heat treated)

Then there are the "superalloy" bolts (special application)

Thanks guys! Yes I was planning on putting in a grade 8 bolt not just an everyday bolt from the hardware store. Since I posted this i went to an auto parts store and they had the motor mounts but they wouldn't just sell me the bolt that I needed, and I checked the mount and it is in great condition. So my question is what diameter should I get for this bolt? I haven't measured it yet (but will before purchase) and it looks like it is about 3 inches long minimum. Thanks again for the help guys!
