Trailing arm - screw identification
Anyone know the name or part number (preferably both ) of the little 8mm screw that goes into this hole in the trailing arm (1 screw per arm)?
TIA. |

Rimmer/Xpart don't list it as a separate part so doesn't have a P/N as such.
Clicky: https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001553 You can get M8 bolts/screws of any length from eBay. What does it do? TC |

It fixes a small bracket to the trailing arm. The bracket guides the flexible brake hose round to the caliper.
The screw doesn't appear on the trailing arm page but it might do on one of the brake pages. The bracket is fairly important because it stops the hose running on anything as it turns the corner |

Have a look at this one TC - https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-FS108207L - it holds the small handbrake bracket ,#9 here https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001570. Its says 20mm for that one - the one I've taken off is about 18mm.
The bracket I'm talking about is quite a serious affair - about 3in long with a flange and a grommet for the hose to pass through - it must have a p/n. If it does, the screw will too. |

Bracket is #17 here https://rimmerbros.com/Item--i-GRID001566
No stock, so no p/n. Brilliant - how helpful of Rimmers. |

Wouldn't one of these do?
Clicky: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M5-M6-M8-...harn1T-RVf-XOg Whether 18 or 20mm long won't make any difference. TC |

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. |
