Engine mount trouble

    Right, iv managed to snap a couple of the smaller sized bolts (10mm?) on my top engine mount with the orange domed cap.

    Unfortunately I can't fork out 90 quid for an uprated one so I'm using the same type I got off a mate.

    I don't want to use the same shitty bolt as it will snap again,
    Iv been told the bolts that hold my seats in will work. Are these bolts stronger?

    Or does anyone have or used anything better than the bolts they are supplied with?

    Any help will be much appreciated

    the mount sits on brackets on the inner wing the two small bolts are easily replaced when they snap and wouldnt snap that often. the bolt under the mount is the more likely one to snap. and when the lower bolt snaps the rest is usually still stuck in the mount and a new mount is needed.

    dont know of any different/stronger bolt to use.
