Head bolt differences?

[toseland]

Headbolts...

Do the headbolts from the XUD7 fit the XUD9?

my local motorfactor is adamant that they are the same, BUT when comparing them side by side,

The XUD9 bolts are approximately 150mm, and there is a 25mm spacer on the bolt itself,

the XUD7 bolts are 124mm, total length..

as it happens, the bolts total length is a tiny tiny bit over the length of the XUD7 bolt without the spacer (flange is at the same position)

same thread, pitch, etc,. same T55 head.


any issue with fitting these without the spacer? (XUD7 to the XUD9)
