According to my parts catalogue part no 242139 is the towing ring (for a 109V8) for front mounting. It has 4 x 12mm holes for securing it to the chassis (using NRC5955 which appear to be M10x140mm bolts) and bumper (using SH110401L which appear to be M10x40 bolts).
Why are the bolts M10, and the holes 12mm.
Do I put the M10x140 standard bumper bolts onto the chassis, and get M12x40 bolts for the bumper, or are the bolts from the parts catalogue okay, or do I get M12's all round if they fit the holes in the chassis?
The parts catalogue does not show a spreader plate on the bumper. Is it necessary consiering I am only doing TYRO's but hope to move up to RTV's at some stage.
Cheers
