Oh well, thanks for trying anyway. I wish I could drive to the
manufacturer, but they are about 1500kms away in South Island (I am in
North Island). I have sent a message to the local Jeep dealer and
hopefully they will come back with bolt sizes for the TJ.

Thanks.

I wish I could send one bolt to the shop, they are in Christchurch and I am
in Auckland. I'll keep searching or trying shops till I find the size,
then I can go to the manufacturer and have them supply the properly graded
grade 8s or 12.9s.

Do you know a source for buying a factory service manual for export model
Jeeps, especially the RHD variety? I am asking this as you are in Scotland.

Thanks

I got mine from the dealer; only took him a few days to get it !
It cost me about 65 GBP for it.

If you really really are stuck and can't get one, I'm sure I can post you
one. Postage would be about 24 quid airmail or 12 quid surface mail (56
days - gulp !!). But honestly, the dealer is going to be able to do it for
you - its no different to getting any other factory part !

Thanks for your reply. The last time I asked the dealer, their reply per
email was "the Factory Service book/CD is not available from
DaimlerChyrsler". I am going in tomorrow for something else and I'll check
with a different guy or the Service Manager and see if I can source it from
them. Otherwise I might just bug you, if you don't mind. I will be happy
with a CD 'cause I can keep printing the pages I need to work on the area I
am working on at the time.

May be you can give me details of your dealer and I can try asking them to
ship it New Zealand directly (just trying to minimise incovenience to you).

Cheers,
TW
