Could someone do a quick ETKA check for me?

Hi Rob,

The N 010 445 7 bolts are M10x45x20, meaning M10 size, 45 mm long with 20 mm
treads. Any bolt that size would fit if of good enough quality. The "bolt
pros" here should chime in to tell you the correct spec as I don’t have any
clue... I just know that stainless steel bolts are a no-no, too fragile, and
you must use Nylock nuts (self-locking nuts).

The N 034 778 4 bolts from the CGT are M10x50x24. So they are a bit
different dimensionally, but very little. If they look the part, I would use
them.

By the way, the second part number is also listed for a 100, while the CGT
shows the first one too...

    Hi Gang,

    Still working through the front suspension on my Type 44. I ordered a
couple of pinch bolts for where the suspension strut attaches to the Track
Control Arm balljoint, (PN N0104457) and it appears that they are only
available in packs of 15, and not too cheap either.

   Later on looking in my stash I found the same item that I'd purchased a
couple of years ago for my type 85 CGT. They look to be identical to the
Type 44 , but carry the PN N 034 778 4. I wonder if anyone with the family
album or who knows about these things could explain if they are just
different names for the same thing - a supersession or something?

  Thanks in advance,

    Rob.
