    Morning all,

    Picked up a refurbished axle over the weekend which came with BM Baker Solid mounts already fitted.

    As I understand it, there are two different possible bolt sizes for these.

    Is there any way of knowing which cars have which size?

    I know the obvious answer is to get under the car and check it - but i'm at work just now and wondering if there's a way of knowing based on dates or whatever.

    Car is a '99 Early Phase 2 VTS...... and as far as i'm aware the bushes on the axle will be the 12mm ones.

    Is it likely that my car will take the 12mm ones? Or am I going to have to look to swap them out for 10m ones??

    Obviously I'll check for myself when I get a chance, just wondered if anyone knew off hand.

    Ta muchly

    12mm for all saxo's. Only early phase 1 106 models had 10mm ones.
    BBM only make the 12mm ones.

    good to hear. Once you've had a decent blast in the car can you write a review on the website? It would be most appreciated!
