Whether 18 or 20mm long won't make any difference.

Yes, I think the 20mm stainless will do fine (see below).

The 20mm can't bottom out because the hole goes straight through to the empty tube in the trailing arm - i.e it's not a dead-end hole.

FS108207L Dacromet will fit too.

So it's a question of which finish is better at anti-rust - stainless steel or Dacromet?

Btw, the bracket that this screw is for (Brake Hose Bracket #17 here) has the part number SHU100250.


Thanks chaps.
