Default T1 bars endlink bolt size

To those that have the T1 bars installed.
What size bolt runs thru the endlinks??
The T1 bars I have awaiting install have a 1/2" bolts. The A arms on the car have 12mm holes, a shade smaller that the 1/2" bolt.
I haven't read about anyone reaming the a arm for a bigger bolt.
Wondering if I have incorrect endlinks.
Or if someone has reamed the holes in the bars. Or if I need to upsize the A arm holes

Those that use the LG quiet endlinks : What size bolts are supplied with those endlinks?

1/2" is the common aftermarket/adjustable endlink size and yes most folks have to ream out the factory mount holes

Had to massage the A arm holes just a bit.

They could use a proper chamfer while your at it.

Yes, agree w/others, different bolt size, I had heavy duty LG endlink option. You need to open up control arm hole. Its a one way trip in case you want to go back to stock. You need to put a sleeve back in to be tight and non-clunky with OEM set-up. I ended up just putting on new arms when I got rid of the T1s.

Yes on T1's. Perfect for slicks on track, a bit much bar for street tires. Of course I'm on stiff LG coilovers also?

Wing is still stored in the closet and my quick visit forgot I owe you a steak dinner.
