Gstraw Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Hey I'm lookin to get these done ASAP however I think the studs are plastic. The wheel refurber said that if they are plastic they will be drilled out and I will need to find replacements to put back in. If they are metal, they will remove them and replace them after the treatment. I'm sure they are plastic and was wondering where I can get replacement plastic bolts from? Also any idea about the dimensions of them? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J03 Posted July 8, 2012 Report Share Posted July 8, 2012 Someone asked about this recently mate & they are definitely metal. However, just to be on the safe side I'd whip them out. http://www.celica-club.co.uk/forum/index.php?/topic/136211-hex-key-size-for-tech-5/page__hl__tech__fromsearch__1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev 16v Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Having Tech5's powder coated will reduce their desirability/value..why don't you have them properly referbed?. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstraw Posted July 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Ah yea, I do remember that chat happening a while ago but wasnt sure what the outcome was....if Daz managed to reuse the bolts. I tried searching for the thread but couldnt find anything on it :s (tbh i can never find anything on here the way i search! dont know if im not doing it correctly) Kev, what I was meaning was im planning on getting them straightened and refurbed- probably in a silver again although I am contemplating a gunmetal or black. Not sure what would look better but failing that an OEM silver may be the way forward for my Red GT. The refurber also said that if they are plastic, they would drill them out and most people dont bother refitting them after- not sure if that would look like a kid missing his front two teeth though!
