Camber bar, camber links hardware

From dealer is NLA

I ordered battle version camber bar and lateral links, links come with hardware but camber bar does not

had to cut bolts off camber links to get them off the car, wondering if anyone has a source for new hardware?
I emailed battle version havent heard back yet figure I would ask here before trying them again

thanks

I'm sure AWR would sell you some hardware. I am fairly sure their bar comes with new hardware.

I don't think it's anything special. No reason you couldn't just hardware store source some stainless nuts and bolts.

I know the lateral links come with the hardware, i said that.
The camber bar doesnt.
I have mazdatrix camber adjuster and camber link- they dont show the hardware
I got battle version camber bar- doesnt come with hardware.
I just dont want too much slop and want to make sure the shoulder is correct and its not pivoting on the threads

Based on a camber bar I have here, factory bolts are M12 and minimum 100mm and 60mm thread length. Assuming 3mm mounting flanges and 1.5 x diameters of nut thread engagement. I'd try to find ones that are about 5mm longer, but those are kinda odd sizes.

This is all assuming they used metric rod ends.

camber bar
camber links

That might be it as far as I can remember. I had to buy new sway bar brackets they were completely seized on there.
I have the page from the micro-fiche but parts NLA

Battle version website says that if their product does not come with bolts, you reuse factory. I know yours were rusted so you cut them off.

A metric measuring device and a good hardware store will do wonders for you. Worst case, order online or go to a mazda dealer. Take your old bolts you cut and get a decent range on the size the bolts were, and the thread pitch. If your not sure, going 5 to 10mm longer usually never hurts

gross- issue I have is at first I tried to impact them off, they sheared taking the threads with them. So I cant use my thread gauge there isnt anything sticking out enough to measure.
Some other stuff came off stripping the threads along with it.

This car was once a daily driver for someone and that included driving through snow, its has led an easy life since I bought it in 94 but some damage you cannot reverse.

I can measure the shoulder and try to figure it out. Waiting to get some parts back from the powdercoater before I can investigate any further

We are spoiled here in CA

Most of the bolts for suspension , if the same size , is usually the same thread pitch.

You can try using a good bolt and threading it through by hand, and using something to measure length
