VW 020 transmission, cheap diff bolts. VW mk1, 2 & 3

My solution to diff bolts that have yet to be tested, THIS SHOULD BE DONE AT OWN RISK.I have only been using these for 2 days at the time this video is posted.
I TOOK THE BOLTS OUT AFTER I BROKE 4TH (9months later) GEAR TO EXAMINE THEM : • DIY VW 020 diff studs ...
4Th gear wasn't in good condition to begin with.
The hole size is 9.5mm on older vw 020 transmision/non-FFZ. The m10 class12.9 bolts where machines from 9.7 to 9.5 so that they press fit into the holes. The nuts are class 8.8 as they are not subjected to direct engine torque and is surviving.
The bolts where shortened to 0.1mm of each other to stay balanced and the bolt heads where also shortened to 5mm. The shear line lies on the shank of the bolt. Used permanent locktite. been going strong for almost a year of abuse.

You know there’s something called mail right. It’s amazing. I can order the correct hardware from anywhere on earth

Why did you watch my video if you're giving such condescending comment?

You havent considered availablity. The neighbouring country didnt have stock. So from anywhere else it takes about 2 months in the mail. My car broke today. It cost me $30 to do the bolts on the cheap. Buying bolts cost $75 +$62 shipping.

Great video, so true the std pins break so easy. ARP do some bolts for these also.

@@061garage I just remembered that VW themselves did a bolt kit, but can't find the part number, have a look on ebay for copies, just don't know if they are 10.9 or 12.9, yep machine down some 12.9's and give it a go, anything is better that the rivets!
