Brand New- GTT M14 Long Wheel Bolts+pics!

Hi Guys ,as you may know 2006 on Minis (inc GP, Late R53 and R56) use an ultra fine M14 (1.25mm pitch) wheel bolt. No one has these bolts in a longer length ,which is required if using wheel spacers. The GTT ones will be one piece bolts, powder coated black (as per stock) rather than studs & nuts.
Im making 100 off in EN16 very high tensile steel.
-If still not available 'off the shelf' in 3 months ...I'll make another batch.
Should be ready in 7-10 days
Best Regards Roland GTT

Hi Luka, yes glad your liking the GTT manifold.....The price is to be confirmed, they wont break the bank but we are only doing a small first batch not tens of thousands.

IIRC your car uses M12 bolts.....you need socket head bolts as BBK type wheels dont have large enough couterbore to accept a 17mm AF socket. We can source these for you if required.

Hi Guys, here are some pics of the new bolts. We are powder coating the heads black (durable & looks the best). Will come pre- 'copper slipped' too

Hey Roland, these look good! But cant help but think about the powder coating coming off after a few wheel changes... but... you must have thought of this?

Maybe blacking would have been a better option?

I'm sure you will prove me wrong
