I bought an si cage for an 05 06 636 and im trying to find hardware that will work for the engine mount bolts the ones i bought will work i just cant find hardware that will work with a socket that will fit through the cage the ones i bought 14mm and 9/16s works but will not fit through the cage any ideas.

 

you mean the sockets wont fit in the tube?

 

Allen head bolts are what u should be using with that cage

 

yea the sockets wont fit through the tube but i cant find allen bolts that big at my local lowes or home depot.

 

if you have a bench grinder you could turn the 14 mm head into a 13 mm head in about two minutes by slowly and carefully grinding a little off each flat spot on the head of the bolt ..

it's kind of getto but will work in a pinch , i've done it a bunch ...lol

 

Go to fastenal. They have every kind of bolt. Try Ace hard ware, the one here has more way more nuts and bolts than lowes or home depot does.

 

SI should send allen head bolts with there cage!

 

anyone have a picture of the spacers?

I bought a SI cage off my friend, never came with any hardware.. I ended up making a spacer for the left and right side of the engine mounts.. and used the spacers from my FI cage on the threaded rod...

I took a old socket and cut it in have to use as a spacer for the right side.. bolted up nicely, but took me about 2 hours to put on the cage... It was a b*tch to set the cage up properly..

 

ya i put a SI cage on my f4i and it was a bitch to line up and tighten down right. the sockets not fitting in the tubes gave a problem for sure. its on now but every once in a while i gotta tighten the rod holdin in the back cuz the engine vibrates it loose.

 

i would take it off to take a pic of the spacer but its not worth all the time! sry man

 

yo crOwn,put some locktite on that bitch,bam your done!will never rattle loose again.

 

what is the best 4 piston caliper to run on 03 636 rear handbrake? I have the brembo 16x18 master

 

for my f4i, even fastenall didn't have a bolt, they said htey would have to special order it for some crazy *** price


I'd hit up sick innovations if you can't find one.. I'm sure they'll sell you bolts for cheap or maybe even free!

 

They sell you the whole kit (front mount bolts, rear mount bolts, and lower front) for i think $20+shipping. McMaster Carr has the allen bolts(front engine mount) for the f4i (also fits the 05 636)
