    Spax psx got fitted yesterday but th bolt which goes through the rear shock has lost its nut and if nothing is done will come out. Problem is that the spax rear is wider than standard leaving less thread for a nut to be tightend on, anyone had this problem i dont know what to do, i mean anyone know what type size bolt would be good to try and get, thanks.

    will the thread pass all the way through the nut? If so just use Threadlock on there to keep it in place.

    If it doesn't just head to a motorspares place with the bolt and get one thats slightly longer.

    threadlock is stuff that you put on the thread. When it dries it stops the nut from undoing

    something like this.. ps don't get the really strong one!!
