   Are these wheel bolts perfect for bolting vtr wheels to a 1.1 saxo hub and rear drums?:

   Most vtr wheels need a flat seat bolt, others (earlier wheels) need a tapered bolt. Check your wheels first to be sure.
   
   I've got a set of flat seat VTR bolts with locking nuts if your interested.

   Cheers well my current ones look the same as in the ebay listing, i just cut them a little shorter to fit onto a set of spacers on my bbs alloys but failed on MOT because they dont go through all threads on the hub. So need to get a set for the MOT retest. Going ahead with repairs.

   Thought they wera all flat bolts on all vtr wheels? But the newer wheels had flat bolts that also had a taper and dont fit early wheels.

   Early VTS and R had the same wheels with tapered bolts. Remember someone had a mix of old and new and had a right fuck on.

   Prior to cutting them down these bots were used to bolt my vtr wheels to my saxo 1.1 flatarch so will take my chance and go for them.
   
   Another quick question. Emissions were high on MOT on 2nd idle on CO and Lambda. This connector on the breather pipe is snapped off and will need to re secure it. It has a suction to it when you cover the pipe. What purpose does it have and would it make a big improvement to emission readings? As this and the pipe going from the air filter head to the centre of the air feed duct is disconnected. The rest of the air filter and cat are good quality parts within the last year cant understand why my readings are do high? Thanks

   Sensor might be shagged causing over fuelling and bad emissions.

   Be the Lambda sensor after the CAT which might be shagged.
