have you got the right bolts?


Re: cyclones on xsi wont fit ? - Toms306 - 04-03-2012

They should fit fine, whats stopping them from fitting?

If you have lasers atm though and using those bolts, the bolts will stick out too far.....


Re: cyclones on xsi wont fit ? - Eeyore - 04-03-2012

youre using flat bolts yeh? Not the ones with the angled part?

these...

seems a bit of an odd situation? i had no problems putting a cyclone on my mrs xsi with laser bolts slotted straight on like i was putting the on any other 306?

Have you cross threaded the bolt fitting it thus destroying the thread in the hub?

you may need bolts that dont have that shoulder

yep, as Daniel said - you need to make sure your bolts are not tapered.

simple google search will find your answer...

the bolts were to big luckly i checked cos if i had a flat i would be screwed. just bought some bolts of ebay also bidding for a full set of cyclones as they are smart.
thanks anyway Smile
