The bolt is per my earlier post in this thread.

I found the application of heat to be the best way of removing these bolts. The thread-locking material makes them very tight to undo otherwise. The difference heat makes is unbelievable. May I suggest that if you use heat to get the bolts out, they should be perfectly capable of being re-used with a suitable threadlocking compound applied, such as Loctite 270.

A bit more mystery info Andrew. Vehicle in at Austin's for 60k service and EML.

Nick reckons that MGR may have been about to update part numbers when they went bust. TYG000260 is probably the same bolt. However, TYG000260 is 1.25 pitch.

One wouldn't have thought that a simple bolt would cause such grief!

Is the Febig box pic relative

Kev,

I don't understand "Is the Febig box pic relative".

As for TYG000260, this bolt is completely different from TYG000250.
TYG000250: M10 x 1.5 x 50mm with a threaded portion of 40mm and a full shank diameter over a length of 7mm. The flanged bolt head suits an E12 socket.
TYG000260: M10 x 1.25 x 60mm with a threaded portion of 28mm and a full shank diameter over a length of 30mm. The flanged bolt head suits an E12 socket.

They aren't the "same bolt" at all.

Spot on Andy, I was mis-reading my notes. 60mm for the TYG000260.

I only mentioned Febig as it is
