Any standard shoulder bolt the right size will do for balljoint also. As other
have said a higher tensile can be a nice touch too.

Just standard shouldered bolts through arm to body. Camber bolts if you like in
the shock to hub mounts.
You may find washers are needed in the cavity the arm sits to get it nice and
tightly seated before tightening.

To be sure if it’s a standard cam you will have to start measure the lift etc
If in doubt either put a standard pulley on it for the moment.

Our engine is a 1600 bored out to 1800 and has a Vernier pulley fitted which is

I thought it must have a uprated camshaft fitted.

The mounts on this are all shot. I've got two new gearbox ends sorted but the
main mount is modded compared to the xr2 according to Sb.
Do the rubber Interbals come out of standard mounts to fit into the modded
units?
Thanks

I already suspect I know the answer sadly.
Is the nut captive on the suspension arm ? Our drivers side is spinning and I
see hairy bodge so I'm guessing someone has been here before.
Wow this is all getting very kit car haha.
Cut out the bad repair to gain access to nut,captivate it and repair

Easy to do and can still be removed without taking the nose off.
