We won't talk about why i am replacing the front subframe on my 1997 XK8 X100......
There seems to be an issue with obtaining the bolts that hold the subframe to the car. As in nobody can get hold of them.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
Maybe 2 straight ones?....

 

I would take the bolt into a good fastener shop and they will find you an equivalent.

Which bolt - #8?

 

Post dimensions or just go to https://www.mcmaster.com/products/bolts/

 

Thank you.
None of those. The bolt goes through item 2. but is not listed...

 

Not entirely clear from the diagram - #8 goes through the mounting bracket 6 and subframe bush 2 into the chassis.

Part # is JZB100095, M12x85. Jaguar will sell you them for a paltry £21.11 each:

...but, as noted above, you should be able to source for rather less.

 

All you need to do is post dimensions, that michaelh has kindly done. This is a common screw one source is McMaster at $13.40 USD x 5 or $2.68 each in black.
