With the help of Jay (MrJLT) put my car back together with it being off the road for longer than i can remember due to the bolts in the peloquin failing.
So now back on the road with a noice cleen engine bay (while the box was out i got to work with tooth brush and various cleening/pollishing products) new clutch and a few other little bits n pieces that should make it better than ever

did you manage to take notice of whether the bolts had the proper grade written on them? Or were they just blank? Seems to be happening to a few people recently.

I noticed that on Peloquins current diffs he's supplying ARP fasteners, previously he sourced his own grade 12.9 5/16-in. bolts for the job.
My wavetrac is going in (to my MK1) at the moment with ARP ring gear bolts.

It has ARP bolts now as the ones that failed were not.
I think only 2 were left as the rest had sheared and tried to escape ,but lucky for me the case is what copped most of the damage and not the diff and gears.
P.S. I bought a couple of Motive power bleeders and used it for the first time bleeding the clutch and i can say that this is an awesome ,simple to use product that i would recommend to anyone

Yep the reason I ask is I heard that some that had failed may not have had 12.9 stamped on them? Just curious if the ones that come out of this diff did have it stamped on them or not.

Thanks for the feedback. The front bumper has been repainted, although it does have some chips if you look hard. Cupra Lip was from ECS.
