just tried to adjust the lock stops on my defender due to putting some wider tyres on, but the bolt isnt long enough so that i can reduce the lock. anyone know what to do, or at least know the size of the bolt so that i can get a longer one? its for a 2009 defender

hi, it's a M12 bolt and i used a 60mm to replace mine, i found i had to bend it slightly once fitted to ensure the bolt head struck the axle casing

Or just leave the fookers you'll know when it's turned too far cos you'll hear the tyres rubbing.
