How to prevent you wishbone outer pin mounts spreading

[mark christopher]

As has been asked on here about rear wishbones braking, i did the following to recitfy mine, since doing this zero problems.

i ordered some bolts from here (this guy was brilliant and even ordered the bolts just for me...

and then cut the threads a little deeper with a m3 die (you dont need to do this as you can use spacers or washers to fill the gap) i then cut them to 39/40mm with my Dremel
Next i drilled out the wishbone and hub hole to 3mm, taking care to make sure the bolt is a snug not loose fit.
slide in bolt and fit spacers/washers and tighten nut so hub moves free.

next i bought some drill blanks and cut them to length to repalce the inner hinge pins, there are stronger than the kit items
