UrS4 Strut pinch bolt size & Bira brake bracket interference

[Chris Talley]

Hello All

Is the strut/ball joint pinch bolt a off the shelf or a dealer only part.
Either way does someone have a spec or a part number.

I had to grind the head off to remove thebolt and strut, because the Bira
bracket for the BBK prevent easy extraction,  the Bentley indicates that the
head should point forward, with the brake bracket it the way that will be
impossible without removal of the bracket which I am relunctant to do. Why
does the bolt need to be instalelled in this direction and will it be a bad
idea to install backwards to aid future removal.

TIA,
~Chris
